The Hon. GREG PEARCE: My question is directed to the Special Minister of State, and Minister for Industrial Relations. Has WorkCover launched any investigations into workplace practices within the former State Rail and now RailCorp in the 22 months since the Waterfall train crash? Has WorkCover made any adverse findings against State Rail or RailCorp, including for breaches of the Occupational, Health and Safety Act? Were any adverse findings coupled with an order or recommendation for State Rail or RailCorp to alter work practices? If so, what were these orders or recommendations? Are any investigations ongoing?
The Hon. JOHN DELLA BOSCA: The honourable member has asked a very detailed question about a variety of possible interventions between WorkCover and the various rail authorities. I will obtain an answer to the question and provide it to the House as soon as practicable.
