I refer to the Australian Transport Council (ATC) of Ministers’ approval of model national rail safety legislation that was to be implemented across all States by the end of 2008, and the ATC endorsement of the Regulatory Impact Statement for a single national rail safety investigator, and ask -
(1) Will the Minister introduce the approved model national rail safety legislation?
(2) If yes to (1), when?
(3) If no to (1), why not?
(4) Does the Government support the establishment of a national rail safety regulator and a national rail safety investigator?
(5) If no to (4), -
(a) why not; and
(b) what will the Government introduce as an alternative?
