Public Transport Privatisation

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:48): My question is for the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Why do phase 2 tender documents fail to include any mention of light rail?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:48): Not having those documents in front of me and those documents being publicly available, the member can obviously avail himself to looking at those. We did announce, and confirmed it yesterday, that we are putting the tram contract out with the North South bus contract. That is what's happening. I am happy to make inquiries as to the discrepancy that the member believes exists, but I think we have been pretty clear about our intentions and have stood up and answered questions in relation to them, and that's precisely what is going ahead at the moment.
