Regional Transport

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:44): Supplementary: in forming her view that she is confident about relevant preparations being made, has the minister had any discussions with the Minister for Transport regarding transport options for the regions?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:45): I frequently speak with the Minister for Transport about many relevant issues. I think it speaks for itself in terms of our track record. We have had amazing success in terms of the Gather Round for Mount Barker, and we are really confident that in terms of people getting from regional centres nearby to the area that we are looking for, through to actually getting from the city to various places, all of those will be taken into account.
