Train Services

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure. Will the minister reverse his decision not to disclose the Adelaide train network contract awarded to Keolis Downer, given the department has publicly released the bus and tram contracts?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:44): Thank you very much. Again, I was on record when you asked me this question earlier in the week, and I made this really clear: there is a protocol that it has to go through—I think it's a DPC circular—whereby the redacted elements of any contract go online so as to not release the commercial-in-confidence elements of that contract. I think that was the point I made very, very clearly: that the commercial-in-confidence elements of these contracts—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the Deputy Premier!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —don't allow those elements to be released. Again, to stress the point: in these contracts—and when you look online and see them—there are big black pages, redacted elements of the contracts like that because they are the commercial-in-confidence elements that don't go up online. So again, according to the circular, those documents will be put up on whatever website it is they need to go on with those elements removed, redacted out, like is the case in the bus contracts and like is the case in other contracts.
