 Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:41): (78) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. Minister, when will you fund a dedicated train line to Rowville? The then Aston federal member Alan Tudge secured $475 million towards a train line that would connect the Monash Clayton and Caulfield campuses, with a plan to run a train from Monash Clayton to Rowville. Unfortunately, with the election of the Albanese Labor government, we saw all $475 million cut from the Rowville rail project. With the by-election in Aston, we will continue to pressure the Andrews Labor government and their mates in Canberra to properly fund a railway line to Rowville so the residents of my electorate will at least have proper public transport.
