Bus Services

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier assure the house that all members of his parliamentary team support the proposed changes to bus services announced by his government on the weekend?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:37): We are out for consultation at the moment, and we welcome and want the feedback that comes with that. As distinct from what may have happened in the past, we are keen to talk to our customers and seek their feedback. It's precisely why—

Mr Boyer interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Wright! It was a question about support. The minister is talking about consultation. It's within the purview of what I think is an answer per the standing orders. I would like to hear the answer.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: So we welcome and look forward to that feedback from electorates right across the city to help make sure that we get these reforms done as right and as correctly as possible, making sure that we take on board all of the feedback that we are provided, something that we have done when we have undertaken changes to our network previously and something that we will continue to do to make sure that we deliver the best network that taxpayers can afford and also that our bus users and our train and tram users want to use on a daily basis.
