Transfield Services — Housing Maintenance Contract
I have a supplementary question. After that non-answer that did not attend to any of the government’s arrangements that the minister has over his own department, can the minister please answer: what action plan has the minister implemented to resolve the issues plaguing this contracting-out model that the department has? Mr W.R. MARMION
