 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:48): I am excited to be part of a government that invests in public transport and transport infrastructure, whether it be locally with the massive upgrade to Boronia station, and of course we saw on the weekend the Metro Tunnel officially opening to all Victorians – a huge event – but of course to be part of a government that is also making it easier for people to use our public transport as well. So my question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport: how many young people in the electorate of Bayswater will be able to benefit from the Allan Labor government’s new policy of free PT for kids, starting from 1 January next year? This is a fantastic policy, something that will make it easier for kids to get on trains, trams and buses right across the state and in the electorate of Bayswater in the beautiful part of Knox that I am proud to represent, and I am looking forward to helping put money back in families’ pockets.
