As a supplementary question, is it not true that the minister has already decided that population base will be part of the formula, and that she will not determine funding in view of the large distances travelled in the wheatbelt? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN

I have said clearly that this is an open book. There is no agenda other than having a system that is absolutely transparent, has a rational basis and does not simply entrench the particular proclivities of various transport ministers in relation to the areas they represent.
