Our message to the government is our door is open for the next two weeks at least to
00:05
get this deal done.
00:06
All we've ever wanted is to get the deal done.
00:11
Come and talk to us and we'll finish this and let the people of NSW get on with their
00:17
festive season.
00:18
We understand how commuters feel.
00:21
We say to the commuters that they deserve a government that values its public transport
00:26
system and right now it does not have one.
00:29
Sydney Trains had two weeks to prepare for this eventuality.
00:33
Our understanding is that they haven't, so there may be significant impacts on the network
00:38
from now until at least the end of the day when Sydney Trains are able to recover.
00:42
We can't tell, as I said, how Sydney Trains will respond to industrial action coming back
00:48
on this quickly, but as I said, Sydney Trains had two weeks to prepare for this.
00:54
If they haven't done that, then it's on them and the government.
