Reporter: Is it fair putting pressure on the Council like this?

Secretary for Transport and Housing: We are not exerting any pressure on the legislature but we do have a duty of care on public interest and we need to ensure by all possible and reasonable measures to enable the Express Rail (Link) to start operating by end-September. That's the target and the expectation of the community. We do have a duty of care to take note of that.
