          <by role="member" id="631">Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:24):</by>  I have a supplementary question, again, to the Minister for Transport. Who did carry out and sign off on the full reports into the derailments and who drafted and signed off on the specially prepared so-called reports tabled by the minister in the last week of sitting?</text>

CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy) (14:24):</by>  Again, the opposition is trying to create a notion that someone else drafted it. This briefing here, which I meant to table, is the only bit that will give you more than I have had and it is from Randall Barry, the acting general manager, as I said to you. If you paid attention last time, you wouldn't have needed a supplementary. He said:</text>

          <inserted>Note the briefing and use it as the basis for any further communications relating to the tram derailment at the South Terrace Refuge Shuttle Siding on Thursday 6 November 2007;</inserted>

        <text continued="true" id="200803056f5b9b1cca5e4e9980000689">So, in answer to your question, I would assume that Randall Barry, having sent it to me and signed it, actually was the author of it. Maybe that is not the case, but I think it is very unlikely. If you had paid attention the first time, you would have realised that.</text>
