Some notice of this question was given on 19 March. I refer to the reference made by the parliamentary secretary and the minister to the modelling underpinning the patronage forecasts for the Mandurah to Perth rail line, revealing an elasticity of demand of 0.54 to 0.65. (1) Is this an independent variable that has been achieved using the manual option of explicitly defining the independent variables to be used? See page 44 of the Asymptote Consulting report of February 2003. (2) If so, was it derived using the processes described at paragraph 5.3.2 and figure 7.2 on pages 44 and 58 of the Asymptote report? I also refer to the parliamentary secretary’s statement on page 4084 of Hansard of 20 September 2001 - What is most important is the further modelling that is to be carried out in preparing the supplementary master plan for the direct route. (3) Has further modelling been carried out? (4) If so, has it resulted in - (a) data output; (b) reports; or (c) tables like those attached as B1-B7 of tabled paper No 474 of 2002; and, if so, will the parliamentary secretary provide me with copies and table them in the House?
