Rail Signal Failures

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:31): Supplementary, sir: have train drivers been informed of these continuing signal failures, and are they concerned, as they negotiate their enterprise bargaining agreement, over these signal failures?

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) (14:31): Train drivers are certainly aware of the signal failures because they are the ones operating the carriages that are unable to move caused by the signalling failures; so, yes, they're aware of them. Have they raised them as part of the enterprise bargaining negotiations? No, they haven't.

The SPEAKER: Twenty questions in the first 22 minutes. The member for Fisher.
