AnswerView source ↗
I am happy to table the advice from Main Roads. However, I need to know the advice that the member for Carine is talking about. She appears to be of the view that Main Roads is upset about the fact that the Government has decided to go with rail rather than buses. That may well be the case. However, we do not yet have the detail of the bus services that need to be retained. The management and the nature of those bus services are the proper subject of master planning, which is in fact under way and will be ready in the next six months.
