I refer to the Public Transport Authority facility at 92 Wyatt Road, Bayswater Western Australia, and I ask: (a) why was an alarm going off at this facility for an extended period, at least 48 hours, well into the night, in recent weeks, as observed by local residents and pedestrians using the nearby cycle path; and (b) why did it take so long for the alarm - and whatever was causing it - to be resolved?
