O-Bahn Tunnel

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): I have a further question for the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Has the government referred the O-Bahn project, and in particular the design to include sheet steel as an alternative to other conventional products, to the Office of the Industry Advocate and, if so, has Mr Nightingale approved that process?

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) (14:46): My understanding is that with all of the infrastructure projects which the government is funding we have a close working relationship with Mr Nightingale and the office that he leads. As for the particular details about that level of involvement with the O-Bahn project, I am happy to come back to the deputy leader.
