Mr WOOD - 2006-08-31
Madam Speaker, I welcome the minister’s statement. I want to know, is that 50 from Humpty Doo to Darwin? That is not my question. Minister, not so long ago, on a similar issue …
Madam SPEAKER: Member for Nelson, who is your question to?
Mr WOOD: My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport!
Around election time when all things were possible, your government spoke about a bus service to and from Defence establishments. Could you please say when a bus service from the Palmerston Interchange to the Robertson Barracks will be established, so that civilian workers and Defence personnel at the barracks can have the option of getting to work using public transport?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Nelson for his question. He is right, it is an election commitment of this government. Currently, there are discussions between my department and senior Defence officials about the very nature, style and frequency of this service and how it might be best targeted to the needs of Defence personnel. It is ongoing. Government will come through on this election commitment.
