DRIVING ASSESSMENTS — BUSSELTON AND MARGARET RIVER
513. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to questions without notice 356 and 471.
(1) When did
the director general of the Department of Transport first become aware that a
sole practical driving assessment had occurred in Busselton on 12 October 2012?
(2) Was the director general aware of any details regarding
this PDA prior to it occurring?
(3) Does the
director general have any concerns about the circumstances surrounding this
PDA?
(4) If yes, what are those concerns, and what action has the
director general taken?
This is question C565.
The PRESIDENT : There have been several questions around
this same issue. I trust this is not exactly the same question as has been
asked previously.
Hon Ken Travers : Not at all, Mr President.
