The head of the New South Wales Transport department has produced a dossier of documents he claims showed staff in transport minister David Elliott’s office – including his chief of staff – were fully briefed about last week’s rail shutdown, despite the minister’s claim he was left in the dark about the closure.
In the days after the shutdown of the state’s rail network, the NSW transport secretary, Rob Sharp, produced a detailed timeline of the hours leading up to last week’s rail shutdown in which he insisted that the minister’s office was fully informed of the closure.
