Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 454 asked in the Legislative Council on 19 May 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

BUSES — VOLVO AUSTRALIA

454. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the Public Transport Authority's contract with Volvo for new buses and the repeated request for the minister to table a contract.

(1) Given nearly nine months has passed since the question was first asked, will the minister now table the contract; and, if not, why not?

(2) Does the minister have any intention of tabling the contract?

(3) Will the minister provide a commitment to table the contract before the winter recess; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for Transport.

(1)–(3) It should be noted that the opposition continued to refuse to release the business cases for the Forrestfield–Airport Link and Perth Freight Link projects, despite multiple requests to do so. The minister is aiming to table the relevant documents by the end of the current sitting week.
