 Sarah CONNOLLY (Laverton) (14:50): (1555) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. As the minister knows, last week we announced we are delivering Melbourne Airport rail stage 1, the West Footscray to Albion rail upgrade. We also released concept designs for the Sunshine superhub. First, we announced that we will rebuild Albion station and give locals there a fantastic modern station. Then we announced the Sunshine station superhub, a critical piece of work that will untangle one of the most complex rail junctions in Melbourne, and now it is time for Tottie to join the list of modern upgraded stations that Labor is delivering for folks in the west. This is why I am thrilled that as part of this overall project we will be delivering a brand new and rebuilt Tottenham station. For folks in Melbourne’s inner west, this is not about a lick of paint or a facelift, this is about creating a new station they can finally feel proud of. My question for the minister is: what will this new rebuilt Tottenham station mean for commuters in my electorate who rely on this station to get in and around Melbourne?
