The NSW Department of Education and Communities has once again shown its complete incompetence in relation to its administration of the Assisted School Travel Program (formerly known as the Special Needs Transport Service) with the revelation that Capebase Pty Ltd, an organisation which has featured on this blog for defrauding the department, having dangerous drivers and abusing students has taken over a run in the Blue Mountains formerly serviced by Katoomba-Leura Cabs.
Parents vented their anger to the Blue Mountains Gazette which has named and shamed the organisation for refusing to guarantee that they can guarantee to be able to cater to the special needs of students.
Les Ross and Capebase have been given special treatment by the department for years. It is well aware of the issues surrounding it, yet like Carenne Support it continues to be rewarded with lucrative transport contracts.
It's time for the education minister to sack Catherine Naismith, the manager of the Assisted School Travel Unit and to announce an inquiry into why organisations such as Capebase and Carenne Support were awarded contracts given their past poor performance.

I thought Ken Boston was heading a Inquiry into ASTP?
Only into why runs haven't been properly allocated. It won't be into the whole system which it needs to be.
Yes it should,thank you.
Take a look at www.pacificshuttle.com.au Why is this Les Ross of Capebase using the heaps of junk he is running to schools when he has decent vehicles available?
It needs to include the DEC's precious Carenne Support.
Well Ken Boston was inspecting the vehicles Capebase use for Carenne and he was not impressed and they had a mechanic at the inspection who said there vehicles were unroadworthy and deserved a defect notice.
Though Ken Boston commended Carenne Support for there work with the Assisted student travel runs and said that Carenne Support is an excellent model which other special schools should think of adopting.
Geoff Salmon ought to be congratulated for his hard work in setting up Carenne Support and making Carenne Support what it is today.
Thought you might be interested to know that Jason the father of Sarah Bailey has been charged with sexually assaulting Sarah Bailey.
This is due to the good work of Janelle Kemp that Jason has been brought to justice.
Detective Paul McCann arrested Adam Ryan over the sexual assault of Ashley Elphick yesterday. It is understood that he was provided with a lawyer from the Department and exercised his right of silence.
It is understood that he was released without charge.
I hope this man sues the ass of you ,what a disgusting liar you are Boomer.
MORE LIES FROM Boomer.
Detective Paul McCann should prove who you are Hatho seeing he is useing the taxpayers money.
Yes it does and sooner than later,Just look what happen to the child in sydney she came close to death through no escort on the bus.
Wasn't Ken Boston told about Geoff Salmon back yard fixes on the buses that were stolen.
On bus register numbe plate-AE-72HU Hoist Bus.
Carenne Support Limited wasn't properly allocated or do they operate under Tony Innaimo Transport?
Is this the same 8 year old child that got raped at Carenne Public School Bathurst and who Janelle Kemp called her a SLUT,because she didn't want her back at Carenne Public School Bathurst ?
While she was on Janelle Kemp's "WATCH"
If it was not for Jenelle Kemp's work in carefully observing this student for signs of abuse it would not have been uncovered.
A child is no longer being abused due to the good work of Bathurst Police.
Your claim has been fully investigated by Carenne Support.
The allegation that Mr Salmon took buses down to Sydney is completely illogical.
There is no record of that occurring or any accounts being paid for repairs on buses being conducted in Sydney.
It would be completely illogical to drive a bus down there as it would cost money in petrol more than any discount.
The repairs are carried out by qualified business in Bathurst.
You can come and check the records if you like. They are held at Carenne School and Helen Windsor has been informed by Carenne Support she is to make them available to any person who asks.
Talking about yourself Janelle Kemp"Blog of lies"
BULLSHIT it came out of Lee Churches Mouth just ask Terry Neil see if he is willing to lie in court Janelle Kemp.
Who posted the bus was taken to Sydney Janelle Kemp even though it was and there is proof ,You just confirm it,You are a LIAR Janelle Kemp"Blog of lies".
Ask Lyn DuncanJanelle Kemp"Blog of lie"she knows all about Geoff Salmon taken the hoist bus number plate AE-72HU to sydney for a back yard fix by his mate.
Look's like Janelle Kemp just dropped her mate Geoff Salmon in the shit!
