Minister for Transport:
I refer to the situation facing
some patrons with disabilities who will have their travel plans severely

suggested by those users and their advocates has the government refused
and what justification has been offered for those refusals?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. As with any initiative across government or
industry, a range of solutions for a problem are explored and the most
appropriate solutions are selected. The state government will continue to work
with passengers with disability on a one-on-one basis to provide assistance
based on their circumstances.
