Essendon electorate trams

Danny PEARSON (Essendon – Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs, Minister for Finance) (09:47): I have got to say, it is going to be exciting times in the state district of Essendon. We are going to have the biggest single investment in tram rolling infrastructure since 1970. Toot, toot, get on board the G-class trams. They are going to be epic – much better than the old Zs. This is going to completely revolutionise routes 57, 59 and 82, and it is going to be amazing for our community. I cannot wait. It was great to be out at the new Maribyrnong facility where the trams will be housed. I was there with the Deputy Premier as well as the hardworking member for Footscray. It is going to be epic.
