Minister fronts "Estimates" committee
posted Monday 20 September 2010
News items on 17 September gave confusing reports about the NSW government's plans for public transport projects in Sydney. The reports arose out of statements by the transport minister and his bureaucrats in answering questions by Members of the Legislative Council at the Council's Estimates Committee hearings. The dialogue was politicised and some of the answers were evasive. Some of the questions may even have been misunderstood. We present the full transcript
here,
for the record and for your reference.

The hearings have prompted APT to ask the Prime Minister and the NSW Premier to have their respective transport advisory bodies make late submissions to the NSW government's Metropolitan Strategy Review, currently due for release in November 2010. Such an updated document would provide important and useful information to voters in the March 2011 election, and to the next government.
