In response to your first comment, it wasn't so much about bringing a chainsaw to the site, because that was actually done fairly quickly. The location of the tree was deemed to be a hazard to the safety of passengers. In terms of cutting it the way you're suggesting, that could have been done in other circumstances but not in this one without threatening the safety of the passengers. We would have needed a full boom truck to access the tree and do this safely. That's why it wasn't done that way.
Insofar as engaging with the minister is concerned, we have not had discussions directly with the minister on this issue.
