Bus Services

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Premier. Did the Premier and the transport minister have the courtesy to brief members of his own Liberal party room about the proposed cuts to bus services before they were announced on the weekend?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:19): We did actually provide a briefing to MPs last week. Again, there is—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Again, these are changes that are out for consultation until the end of July—a great opportunity to be able to have a conversation with the community about what these changes mean—

Ms Stinson interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Badcoe!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —and provide ability to get where people need to go much more quickly. In the case of the people up in the Mitcham Hills and the people across Flagstaff Hill and Aberfoyle Park, there is a great opportunity under this government, as the Flinders Link train station extension is completed, to be able to find a new route down to Adelaide that provides for a faster journey—a fantastic opportunity.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Again, one of the bits of feedback that we get is that people want more opportunity from up in the southern hills to be able to connect with the Marion shopping centre, again, something that is provided for under these changes—a fantastic step forward and one that is going to get people where they need to go more quickly.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I am going to switch to the member for Newland. I will come back to the leader.
