 Ellen SANDELL (Melbourne) presented a petition bearing 2643 signatures:

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly that the regional city of Mildura and the Mallee corridor have been without a public passenger train service to Melbourne for 32 ‍years.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly commits to reinstating a public passenger train service to Melbourne in the form of a weekly passenger train shuttle service between Mildura and Maryborough, using the existing tracks, to connect with the current passenger train service between Maryborough and Melbourne.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
