Transport committee In terms of the premise of your question, it would be irresponsible for us, as an organization, to put forward a position that would provide less safety within the workplace. That's not what we are putting forward. As far as SMS are concerned, safety management systems, we do no

Transport committee I think the accident rate we're seeing in the rail sector is in direct relation to the reduction in inspection and the delegation of those authorities to industry.

Transport committee I don't want to misrepresent or overstate. I don't think companies are making a decision to compromise safety or that safety is not going to be compromised, but it's the end result.

Transport committee I'll pass that on.

Michael Wing
