QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the current fuel crisis and I ask:(a) Has the Government analysed changes in public transport usage during the fuel crisis;(b) What has been the uptake in public transport across the Perth metropolitan area and key regional centres;(c) Has the Government considered temporarily reducing or waiving public transport fares to ease demand on fuel supply;(d) How is the Government encouraging commuters to shift from private vehicles to public transport during this crisis;(e) Has the Government issued any advice or guidance encouraging working from home to reduce fuel demand;(f) Has the public sector been directed or encouraged to adopt flexible or remote working arrangements during this period;(g) Has any modelling been undertaken on the potential fuel savings from increased remote work; and(h) Given the pressure on supply, why has the Government not implemented a clear demand management strategy, including public transport incentives and work-from-home guidance?
