Sandringham electorate
Mr ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:55): (6194) My constituency question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and I ask: when will the level crossings on Highett Road and Wickham Road in my electorate be removed? Last year in my final contribution of 2021 I directed this matter to the minister, who failed to address my concerns directly. The minister denounced my ‘ability to prosecute a case for the removal of these level crossings with some authenticity’. I am confused why the minister is questioning my authenticity on this matter when I have been advocating for the removal of these level crossing since first being elected on behalf of thousands of residents and business owners who want these level crossings gone. The minister has no further need to play politics with this important community matter. Simply give the people of Highett the respect of a straightforward answer or, even better, a commitment to remove these two dangerous and congested level crossings.
