          <by role="member" id="4843">The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:41):</by>  I have gone through the contract a number of times and there are elements of course in it that are commercial-in-confidence, so I won't be releasing those details, other than to say, as I have mentioned—and I will just clarify the point one more time—that we are keeping ownership of all those things I have talked about. Keolis Downer will be doing the operational side of the business.</text>
        <text id="202010159fa7ead42316473d80000673">As far as the customer services centre is concerned, that will deliver the same service that it has always delivered. The people of South Australia will get the same service, if not a better service, because we know that Keolis Downer have that history and they have that pedigree of delivering outstanding services, and we want to make sure that we get those same services here in South Australia. So we are going to be delivering better services for South Australia.</text>
        <text id="202010159fa7ead42316473d80000674">As far as that centre is concerned, that will continue to be run by the Public Service as far as operations are concerned. Keolis Downer will be doing the operations of the trains. Rest assured that they will be delivering better services for South Australia. They have a great history of doing that. I have outlined the awards that they have won time and time again. I can't stress the point enough. We want to be delivering better services for South Australia and that's what we're going to be doing.</text>

          <by role="office">The SPEAKER:</by>  Before I call the member for West Torrens, attention was drawn by the member for West Torrens on a point of order earlier in relation to the Minister for Energy and Mining quoting from a document. I have been provided with notes. The minister was quoting, to the extent that he was, from media precis reports, not a public document, and otherwise his own notes. So there is no further call for tabling.</text>
