Train and Tram Drivers Dispute

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:43): Supplementary question: why has the minister waited more than 12 months to resume negotiations, leaving them until industrial action was taken, especially at a time when uni students are sitting exams?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:44): Perhaps the member for Mitchell was just sticking to the pre-written script that somebody gave him before question time. I just addressed the substance of that question in my previous answer.
