 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:35): Well, the reels and the memes are getting a workout on my Insta account because the Allan Labor government is making the biggest investment into Boronia in a generation. It is so, so exciting. Everyone is up and about. It is probably me leading that pack, I have got to be honest with you. We have just released the first designs for the new Boronia station precinct, and they are absolutely next level. Part of the designs are going to see a new widened concourse, new station amenities and new amenities for the protective services officers. We will also have a new landscaped plaza with new seating and lighting. There will be new CCTV. We are also going to be making other improvements, not just at concourse and station level but also at platform level: upgrading the waiting area, providing new shelters and upgrades to the platforms and installing passenger information displays, otherwise known as PIDs. You learn something new every day in this place. As well we are going to be upgrading the pocket park. There is so much to love. There is lots of new open space. This is the new heart of Boronia. This is probably the biggest thing I will deliver in this term, and I am super excited that the locals in Boronia made it happen. Thank you very much to the minister at the table, the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, for supporting the project as well.
