MR BARR: I think Mr Wall’s question lacks any basis.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Hanson.

MR HANSON: Minister, will you immediately release these cabinet decisions—those being decision 1641 and 1667?

MR BARR: Cabinet decisions are subject to a usual release schedule, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Hanson.

MR HANSON: Minister, why has there been a two-month delay in releasing these documents to the opposition?

MR BARR: I do not believe there has been.

Transport—light rail

MS LAWDER: My question is to the Minister for Capital Metro. Minister, are you committed to the 25-year implementation of the full light rail network plan?

MR CORBELL: The government is committed to developing detailed business cases for future extensions of light rail. We have said that very clearly. The Chief Minister reiterated yesterday this government’s commitment to go to the next election with a clear plan to build on stage 1 of capital metro, and that remains the government’s policy.

Mr Coe: A point of order, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: A point of order.

Mr Coe: It is on relevance. The question was: are you committed to the 25-year implementation of the full light rail network plan? It was not in relation to business plans.

MADAM SPEAKER: I was listening to the answer, and I was thinking that perhaps Mr Corbell had not come to the subject of the question. Ms Lawder’s question was perfectly clear, about a 25-year rollout. But I also get the impression that Mr Corbell thinks he has finished answering the question.

MR CORBELL: Yes.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Ms Lawder.

MS LAWDER: Minister, has the ACT government finalised a cost for the network plan?
