753. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the bus drivers'
strike today. Given that the dispute at Transdev has been ongoing for eight
months, culminating in strike action today that affected thousands of
commuters, what actions did the minister take to prevent the Transport Workers'
Union of Australia strike this morning?

As the member would know, the
dispute is between Transdev, a company that runs the bus services for
particular districts, and the TWU. My office was alerted to the proposed action
and there were conversations, but an agreement could not be reached by the
appropriate time. I do not like when action is undertaken and I did not like
the disruption that occurred this morning, but the disruption was not as bad as
predicted. I congratulate everyone at Transperth for the work they did to
manage the scenario this morning and I also acknowledge the TWU in its role in
advocating for its workforce.
