I thank the Minister of State, but I am disappointed by his response. He has evaded the issue again. I sent a comprehensive submission to the Minister of State on this issue but received no feedback. I brought up a group of parents who told the Minister of State about how it had been impacting on their lives. It is a further attack on rural communities and evidence that the Minister of State is not doing his job. He is the one who came to the Chamber and made the commitment that no child in receipt of a concessionary ticket would lose a seat on school buses, yet thousands have.
