What measures are in place to ensure that small businesses and tradies won't be worse off as a result of the privatisation of DIT facilities management services, due to a private provider lowering the rates of pay for contracts offered to those businesses? The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Recreation Facilities Services The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised: The contracts for the future Across Government Facilities Management Arrangements (AGFMA) will ensure that tradespeople continue to be paid a fair price for the works they perform. The contracts will include specific contractual measures that will ensure that tradespeople are appropriately and fairly remunerated for the works they perform. The Department for Infrastructure and Transport will manage the contracts to ensure compliance with these measures throughout the life of the contracts. Furthermore, the Office of the Industry Advocate will remain involved throughout the life of the contract.
