 Matt FREGON (Ashwood) (10:25): It has been a big couple of months – no surprise there – and the great kids at St Scholastica’s Primary School in my patch came into Parliament. We met them here, and I have got to tell you, they had some very good questions. Our democracy is pretty safe with that next generation. Then a couple of weeks later I joined them again because the Suburban Rail Loop team had their young construction ideas, which they call the student workshop event, and some of the ideas are fantastic. I think my favourite was the idea of having potentially driverless trains and having a holographic conductor that could assist passengers, whether it be in emergencies or just knowing where to go. I thought that was a great idea. These kids are pretty switched on.
