TRAMLINE

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:00): I have a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that tram drivers are already complaining of the swaying of trams that are moving at speed and the standing joke amongst tram drivers is 'don't have your lunch before you start your shift'.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy) (15:00): It has not been passed onto me that tram drivers are fearful of eating their lunch. I shall urgently seek a report from the General Manager of TransAdelaide as to what time tram drivers eat their lunch and I shall try to make sure that they are completely satisfied with their lunch. I am not prepared to intervene in their domestic relationships to have that lunch changed, but I will make a general statement of support that their lunch should be satisfactory to them.
