I advise all present at this hearing that all evidence taken by this committee, including submissions, is subject to parliamentary privilege and is granted immunity from judicial review pursuant to the Constitution Act and the Parliamentary Committees Act. We welcome Mr Bernie Carolan, commercial director of National Express Group (Australia), to our inquiry. Mr Carolan, you are aware of the reference we have before us, which is to do with structural change. In looking at that reference, we have to get our minds around what happened five or six years ago, what has happened since and where we are now. We have to be able to trace what happened over that period. One of our problems has been that many of our witnesses have concentrated on what is happening now rather than what has happened over the past five or six years. I will put that comment on the table to start off with.
