摘要

The Queensland Government appointed a Commission of Audit to study and report on the financial situation of the State Government. The final report was released in late February and made a short comment regarding transport services 'The Government faces an increasing cost burden in the subsidies that it pays to provide public rail and bus transport services. To ensure the strongest incentives to improve efficiency, the Commission considers that these services should be restructured to be delivered through contestable contracts under franchise and lease arrangements.'
