 Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (09:51): Our community has been let down again by the Allan Labor government, specifically concerning the removal of the Highett Road and Wickham Road level crossings. Now, before the last election, the now Premier and the then Minister for Transport Infrastructure promised our community that by 2029 the entire Frankston line would be level crossing free. Since being elected in 2018 I have heard from countless residents who tell me about their safety concerns and general concerns around congestion caused by these level crossings. Interestingly, I have not heard from one resident who has ever asked me for a train line between Cheltenham and Box Hill. These are the residents who are being ignored by this government. This is yet another example of this tired Labor government neglecting Highett, and I believe that our community deserves so much better than that.
