Keolis Downer

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (15:30): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Does Keolis Downer have any experience running heavy rail passenger services in Australia?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:30): Again, no contract is signed. The member is talking in hypotheticals. To my knowledge, Keolis Downer (to pronounce it correctly) have run a number of rail projects in Labor states like Victoria and Queensland and are quite successful, but there's a number of contractors out there that do an outstanding job. The process of selecting the outsourced provider is continuing.

The Hon. S.S. Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call the Premier to order.
