I thank the member for the question.
I note that, strictly speaking, issues of the rail subsidy fall within the
purview and responsibility of the Minister for Transport, but we realise there
is a crossover here.
(1) In 2016–17,
it was $2.55 million; in 2017–18, it was $3.53 million; and in 2018–19,
it was $5.93 million.
(2) The names of
individual customers and the value of the subsidy they received falls within
the definition of ''confidential information'' for the purposes
of the subsidy deed for the Fremantle port rail service.
