Public Transport Levy

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Given that the 2015 AFL season is five months away and the season draw was released today, can the minister advise how much extra people will pay for season passes and match day tickets due to the government's public transport levy?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:56): Thank you to the member for Mitchell for that question. I know he's got a keen interest in this. I can advise the house that I have been in discussions with both the SMA and the two football clubs, and we are talking through how best these costs to provide public transport for the 2015 season will be resolved, but we haven't finalised that as yet.
