I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided the following answer. The advice from the Public Transport Authority is that increased rail traffic between Brunswick Junction and the port of Bunbury will not impact on Australind train services. The Public Transport Authority has an access protocol with WestNet Rail Pty Ltd that requires that the normal operation of its rail system will allow the Australind ’s schedules to be maintained.
