Since 2014 I have had the great honour of representing my community. I was born and raised in St Albans, a true local. Our Labor government has removed the dangerous level crossings at Main Road and Furlong Road, St Albans. We built the Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital. We doubled Sunshine Hospital, including a new emergency department and a children’s emergency department. We have invested in every single school and built Brimbank Tech, the first paramedicine centre of excellence, the Victoria University Cisco cybersecurity centre, and a jobs and skills centre, creating local jobs and opportunities for young people. We have delivered more PSOs at St Albans station and are rolling out the community connectors in St Albans to keep our streets safe. We are seeing Melbourne Airport rail continue to be built and commence through our community. We are delivering a new bus service to Cairnlea, and it has been fantastic for my local community, including more services for bus 408. We delivered the Metro Tunnel, a safer Taylors Road in Keilor Downs, invested in the St Albans business district and absolutely fought hard to keep Kealba landfill closed for good. We have also supported local sporting clubs and backed our multicultural communities. We funded – (Time expired)
