Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Public Transport Privatisation Public Transport Privatisation The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Public Transport Privatisation The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:43): A further supplementary: will the Treasurer guarantee that the current scheme to provide free travel for seniors will continue under a privatised operator model? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Public Transport Privatisation The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:43): My understanding is that that will continue. The arrangements in relation to the very generous way the current government treats public transport users, as I said, we protected in this budget; the increase in public transport fares was to 2 per cent whereas other fees, fines and charges increased at 5 per cent or indeed at a higher rate than that. I would be very confident that that is the sort of attitude that we would continue in all future budgets as well. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: That was the last supplementary; I am keen to move on. The Hon. Ms Bourke.
