My question is to the Minister for Transport and Regional Services. Can the minister confirm that the Inspector of Transport Security only works part time? Can the minister confirm that, despite the government’s undertaking in May 2005 to support the role of the Inspector of Transport Security with legislation, no such legislation has been introduced? Can the minister confirm that 100 per cent of checked baggage on international flights out of Australia is not X-rayed? Minister, when is the government going to get serious about transport security?
