 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (12:24): Residents around St Kilda Street in Brighton are living with unbelievable noise. As Michael recently said:

Our windows rattle and even if they are closed, the noise from revving motorbikes or cars with loud exhausts hooning down St Kilda Street has become unbearable.

For years our community has sought help from the state Labor government. As Michael further said:

Sadly, the Minister, VicRoads and the Police have done nothing, and as residents, we have had enough of the continual noise and speeding.

I have raised the issue with the government for years. Most recently the Minister for Roads and Road Safety said that the government:

… continues to work hard to improve regional roads.

That is right. The minister’s response was not even updated to note the issue related to Melbourne. My community deserves better. We deserve action.
