RAIL ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Has any of the work originally awarded to Laing O'Rourke as part of the rail electrification project been taken over by the department and given to other contractors? If so, why, what components are impacted and will there be increased cost or delay to the project?

The SPEAKER: Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, did you hear that question?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:41): I understand the question: has work from Laing O'Rourke been taken over?

The Hon. I.F. Evans interjecting:

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Awarded? I am not aware of that. I am quite happy to ask Rod Hook about it. All I can do is check the details and bring them back for you.
