Mr MARTIN FERGUSON (10:11 AM) —In light of the minister’s response I make no comment or reflection on the tender process, because I have no knowledge of it, but I merely reinforce that I think the government, having finalised the contractual arrangements, should actively involve itself in trying to ensure that in the establishment of the new operations there is some direction or suggestion from the department that these services should be provided with an on-the-ground, full-time presence where they are required. Otherwise, frankly, it is not a question of the tender process but of the delivery of service becoming questionable.
