I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1)–(5) Noting
that the former government made no investment in the Australind service,
this government is progressing its commitment to deliver a new Australind .
The Public Transport Authority has also engaged a consultant to investigate a faster
and more direct Australind service.
