TRANSADELAIDE, DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:48): My question is again to the Minister for Transport. Can the minister explain how the departmental investigation into the alleged assault of passenger Mr Beelitz was completed without Mr Beelitz being interviewed about the alleged assault?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:48): No, I cannot explain that because again, I stress, I have had no role whatsoever in these inquiries, or in any disciplinary matter. What I will say is that I will get a full report from the chief executive, in whom I have complete faith. And so, I am confident that the chief executive will have dealt with this properly.

Now, it may well be that the time you are talking about—it is in fact not the current chief executive, but the original complaint would have been under the former general manager of TransAdelaide, which, of course, is a structure we do not have anymore. Those people have all been brought back into the department. I can guarantee you that I cannot explain it because I have had no role in it, but I am very happy to get a report and what has been done about it. I will say this: we take customer service and these sorts of matters extremely seriously and I think we have very good public servants in the department. I am very happy to get a report from them.
