BUS CONTRACTS

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:14): Can I have a supplementary, sir?

The SPEAKER: Yes, you may have a supplementary.

Ms CHAPMAN: Given that the minister is labouring on the lack of understanding of it—minister, will there be any extra service out of the $2 million?

The Hon. C.C. FOX (Bright—Minister for Transport Services, Minister Assisting the Minister for the Arts) (15:15): The $2 million to which you refer is, as you well know—as the member for Bragg well knows—the price that we are paying Torrens because that is their schedule of fees. That is the price that they tender to us to offer that service. It is as simple as that. It is not $2 million for anything extra or anything less, it is $2 million for the service that they offer. I would have thought that the member for Bragg would have understood something that simple in this contract.
