MR RATTENBURY: I thank Mr Coe for the follow-up question. I think that level of detail—I am not in a position to provide a detailed breakdown of all the positions and the job descriptions that go with them. From an ACTION point of view, I am happy to offer a briefing to Mr Coe—for the ACTION management team to come down and go through that in detail as much as is relevant for the purposes.
MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Ms Lawder.
MS LAWDER: Minister, will you commit to reporting back to the Assembly in the September sittings on the managerial and structural changes taking place within ACTION?
MR RATTENBURY: I hesitate on that one. I am quite happy to be open and transparent about it. I do not know how much detail people want me to come in here and talk about.
Mr Coe: Give a ministerial statement in September.
MR RATTENBURY: I do not actually know what the questions are, to be honest. I could talk for four hours about this.
Mr Coe interjecting—
Dr Bourke: On a point of order, Madam Speaker.
MADAM SPEAKER: Stop the clock, please.
Dr Bourke: Mr Coe is conducting a conversation across the chamber with Mr Rattenbury, which is disorderly.
MADAM SPEAKER: It is question time. Mr Coe has asked some questions. It is a modest interjection. I am not going to call Mr Coe up on that one. Have you finished your answer to Ms Lawder’s question, Mr Rattenbury?
Mr Rattenbury: Sure.
MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Ms Lawder.
MS LAWDER: Minister, what efficiencies are intended to be derived through these changes?
MR RATTENBURY: As I indicated in my earlier answer, the government is very committed to improving our public transport in the territory and has a transport reform agenda, including improving the performance of ACTION, both in terms of getting better outcomes for customers and making sure we are getting value for money out of the public moneys that go into providing our bus service.
