good to see him talking about consumers !

[Thomas J Stamp]

transport infrastructure investments have a positive impact on economic growth, create wealth and jobs, and enhance trade, geographical accessibility and the mobility of people.

Hope he told Leo that before Leo's statement on Metro North.

As Minister with responsibility for Public Transport I will be engaging in a wide ranging discussion in the coming months with a view to bringing forward plans for a smarter, more intelligent public transport service throughout the state. Consumers of public transport, both current and potential, will be at the heart of these discussions because public transport is nothing if it does not meet the needs of the public.

We look forward to meeting him too.
