          <inserted>Just saw the transcript of your interview on FIVEaa and claims there is an 'absolute absence of a holistic transport plan'. Simply not true and I draw to your attention [a website address that has the transport plan]. In addition, during the development of this plan we conducted extensive consultation across the state with more than 2,500 people attending engagement events and meetings. Almost 1,500 submissions were received from councils, local government and development bodies, key industry organisations, community groups and members of the public. It is a shame we cannot have a debate on transport policy based on facts. Kind regards [Chief of Staff].</inserted>
