Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (13:02:24) — Similar to Dr Ratnam, my question is for the Minister for Public Transport. I too was contacted by a constituent concerned about the slow proliferation of fully accessible tram stops in Northern Metropolitan Region. We note that the minister proudly announced 10 additional stops and six on the number 96 tram route, which is in my electorate. That was 10 stops out of 420. So out of a total of 1763, this still leaves 1330 to be upgraded, and that is nowhere near the 90 per cent that has been promised to our electorate. My constituent asks: why is the government so far behind on the 2017 disability standards for accessible public transport, and what is it doing to rectify it?
The PRESIDENT — On the basis of your constituency question, are you echoing what your constituent has asked?
Ms PATTEN — Yes, I am echoing it.
