          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:39):</by>  Further supplementary: the Equal Opportunity Commissioner raised concerns about those who have mobility issues and therefore cannot use the bus, whereas a train is more accessible. Does the minister have any alternatives for those who cannot use a bus?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:39):</by>  I thank the member for her further supplementary. I think it may have been last year that those matters were raised. I am certain that, while there is some easier access on the train, the bus services will always service the need, if it's there, to look after members in our community. We see accessible tourism, not just from a transport point of view but for some of our destinations, as particularly important. There are more and more people in our community who have mobility issues and so I am very confident that both the tourism operators and providers, and the transport operators, being the bus lines, will, over time, continue to cater, and cater to a greater degree, for people with mobility issues.</text>
