Train Services

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:27): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure. Yesterday, the minister undertook to ask his department whether the government commissioned a report from consultants Ernst and Young and provided it to bidders, advising that the cost of running Adelaide's train network in 2018-19 was $125.9 million. Has he got an answer from his department?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:27): Could I ask the member to repeat his question? He was just mumbling through that; I couldn't hear him.

The SPEAKER: Is the member for West Torrens willing to repeat the question?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
