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

As the member knows, we have four project management teams working on this — Mr P.C. Tinley : A bandaid! Mr W.R. MARMION : We have four project management teams working on it, and indeed — Mr F.M. Logan interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister for Housing, I wish you would stop affecting certain people in this place in the way that you are. I would just like members in this place to give the minister an opportunity to answer the supplementary question that the member for Willagee has asked. Mr W.R. MARMION : In concluding, these project management teams will provide me with information, and in the new year if they have not performed, I will have a serious look at the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members!
