 Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (14:53): Can the minister please advise what work the Allan Labor government and Victoria Police are doing to improve safety for students and local commuters at train stations?

The SPEAKER: Which minister?

Luba GRIGOROVITCH: Sorry, Minister Carbines, the Minister for Police. In recent months, I have received a number of concerning reports from residents about safety issues at Deer Park, Rockbank and Caroline Springs train stations during school travel times. Parents and students have described bullying, harassment and, in some cases, physical altercations. One parent recounted a distressing incident in which his son was threatened and repeatedly teased by students from another school. While schools work hard to manage behaviour during school hours, it is important that we help ensure safe travel to and from schools for young people in our community.
