In delivering the government's land transport policies and priorities, the programme must draw a careful balance between national land transport priorities and those at a regional and local level, as well as ensuring that each transport mode is supported in a way that ensures the development of an integrated system.

 Title: MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Motion of Censure
A large number of the matters raised in the minister's letter appear to be relevant to management matters which would not usually be dealt with directly by the board.
The minister's actions are quite seriously flawed and would, if challenged, be held by a court not to have provided procedural fairness to CASA or its board members.
Now the minister says that it is all innocent; we are misinterpreting this; we have the wrong end of the stick; we do not understand; and the letter can be interpreted in another way.
