1. You have been the head of the ARTC now for 7 months, what do you feel the main challenges are for the future of rail freight in Australia?
2. One of the main themes of AusRAIL PLUS 2011 is Customer Relations – how do you think the Australian rail industry is perceived by the main users of long distance logistics services?
3. What do see as the main challenges rail operators face in driving greater utilisation of rail services in Australia, and how do they better emphasise the benefits of rail to potential customers?
4. The other main theme of AusRAIL PLUS this year is Innovation – do you believe the industry has a big enough focus on innovation or do you think that there needs to be a greater emphasis on researching the future of rail freight to enable the industry to better plan for that future?
5. Finally AusRAIL PLUS 2011 in Brisbane is set to be the biggest AusRAIL we have seen to date, what do you hope the main outcomes will be from the event?

Thank you for your time again John and we look forward to the CEO Forum at AusRAIL PLUS 2011.
