Public Transport Privatisation

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:28): My question is for the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Can the minister advise the house what amendments were made to the registration of interest tender documents for phase 1 of the east-west bus service tender on 28 June 2019?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: is the member asking the minister to identify publicly available documents?

The SPEAKER: I am going to allow the minister an opportunity to answer.

The Hon. A. Piccolo: You tell us everything else that's public.

The SPEAKER: Member for Light, let's not complete the trifecta today.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:28): I will have to make inquiries. This tender has been open now for some time. Departmental executives, including the chief executive, have appeared before the Economic and Finance Committee for members of this parliament to avail themselves of the opportunity to interrogate that tender. I will make inquiries as to what else has changed in relation to that, but certainly nothing has been brought to my attention.
