MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Hanson.
MR HANSON: Minister, what concerns have you raised about the management of the development of light rail in Canberra?
MR RATTENBURY: I cannot think of anything that I would care to share with Mr Hanson at this point.
MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Coe.
MR COE: Minister, how many staff are on secondment from TAMS to capital metro and under what budget are they being paid?
MR RATTENBURY: I cannot quite think, just at the moment, of the specific number. I will take that on notice and give you a full and accurate answer, Mr Coe, and get back to you with that.
MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Gentleman.
MR GENTLEMAN: Minister, how will the development of light rail transform public transport choices for the territory?
MADAM SPEAKER: The question was to Mr Rattenbury in relation to his directorate’s role. Is Mr Rattenbury the minister responsible for capital metro?
MR GENTLEMAN: Madam Speaker, if I could: the original question was on development for light rail, and that was how I termed the supplementary question.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, could you read the original question?
Mr Hanson: Certainly, Madam Speaker. What is your and your directorate’s role, aside from the subcommittee of cabinet, in the development of light rail?
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Gentleman, can you repeat your question, please?
MR GENTLEMAN: Yes, if I could, Madam Speaker. How will the development of light rail transform public transport choices for the territory?
MADAM SPEAKER: I suppose as Mr Rattenbury is the minister responsible for major public transport, I will allow the question.
MR RATTENBURY: Thank you, Madam Speaker, and Mr Gentleman for the question. I think it will play out in a number of ways. The first will obviously be that, as light rail comes on stream, there will need to be a realignment of the ACTION bus network to support and interact with the line down Flemington Road and Northbourne Avenue. That will obviously require some realignment of the bus services. The planning work on that is yet to be done.
