Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (14:45): (196) My question is for the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Gippsland commuters have long suffered with a second-class rail service. We have endured delays, cancellations and buses replacing trains for years now. The Gippsland rail upgrade was meant to deliver better services, including line duplication between Bunyip and Longwarry. Many stations have been upgraded with new platforms thanks to funding from the former federal coalition government, but no tracks have been installed. My community want to know: when will the duplication of the line at the Bunyip River bridge be completed, and when will the tracks be installed at Bunyip and Longwarry stations so new platforms can be used?
