Mr Hollis asked the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 9 November 1999:

(1) Why has the Government not yet formally responded to the recommendations continued in the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications, Transport and the Arts reports entitled (a) Tracking Australian and (b) Planning not patching.

(2) When will the formal responses be made.


Mr Anderson (Deputy Prime Minister) —The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

(1) and (2) The Government is seeking to deal with these reports through a strategic response taking account of external factors such as the review of business taxation and wider transport policy issues. The timing of these processes mean that the response to these reports will be considered as soon as practicable.
