BUSES — VOLVO AUSTRALIA
454. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Public Transport Authority's contract
with Volvo for new buses and the repeated request for the minister to table a contract.
(1) Given
nearly nine months has passed since the question was first asked, will the
minister now table the contract; and, if not, why not?
(2) Does the minister have any intention of tabling the
contract?
(3) Will the minister provide a commitment to table
the contract before the winter recess; and, if not, why not?

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the
question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for
Transport.
(1)–(3)
It should be noted that the opposition continued to refuse to release the
business cases for the Forrestfield–Airport Link and Perth Freight Link
projects, despite multiple requests to do so. The minister is aiming to table
the relevant documents by the end of the current sitting week.
