School Buses

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:04): I feel like I have just been through a marathon, sir; thank you. My question is to the Minister for Regional Development. Can the minister advise the house of the outcome of the school bus review announced by him in his capacity as Minister for Regional Development via a press release on 26 June last year?

The SPEAKER: The minister.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for a second and final time.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (15:04): Thank you, sir. Given that the review is a school bus review and has been undertaken within my department, I think that I am best placed to answer that question.

I have been reviewing the draft of the review recently and I have asked for some more consideration to be done so that we make sure that it is indeed the nature of the review that was requested. I acknowledge that it has taken time, but I am very keen for it to be a useful document, and so, while I apologise for the length of time, it is being delayed, if that is the correct term, in order to be diligent about the quality of the work.
