Government MPs divided over whether David Elliott is the right man for transport | LucyCormack Rabe9
The minister was called to the Premier’s office on Wednesday for his first face-to-face meeting with transport secretary Rob Sharp, where Mr Perrottet directed that any significant developments must be the subject of a written briefing and written endorsement.

He said a decision was made without his knowledge between 10.45pm and 1am to shut down the train network.
