TRUMPS

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:12): Does the Minister for Transport stand by his statement that TRUMPS (Transport Regulation User Management Processing System) is working as planned? I have been given two documents today, one of which is an answer to a question on notice in which the minister says that TRUMPS is working 'as planned'. The other document is the Auditor-General supplementary report. On page 38, it states:

…matters identified by Audit included:

discrepancies between bank records and TRUMPS were not followed up and corrected on a timely basis

processing errors occurred (ie duplicate postings/missing postings/reversals) requiring correcting journals

system reporting did not support amounts recorded in the reconciliation

the Department relied on manual spreadsheets to control discrepancies and errors and manual review processes rather than system reports and automated processes

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy) (15:13): I have the gist of the question.

The SPEAKER: Yes; I do not think we need anything else.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: For the benefit of the member for Morphett, what the Auditor-General does is look back over time, and he has looked back—

Mr Williams interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: —and that is what he has done on this occasion. I am sure—

Mr Williams interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for MacKillop will come to order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I am happy to sit down. This is the fellow, with his inane interjections and his laughter, who is always saying, 'Answer the question,' but will not let you talk. The truth is—

Mr Williams interjecting:

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: That's it. I'm done. That's fine.
