Southern Metropolitan Region

Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (12:22): (1509) My constituency question is for the attention of the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and it concerns the government’s plan for a sky rail at Mentone and Parkdale. The very clear point here is that there was a large demonstration on the weekend. Thousands of people attended on Sunday, including my colleague Ms Staley, who spoke at that rally and listened to what the concerns of people are. In the lead-up to the last election the member for that area promised that there would be no sky rail. He was not there. But my purpose today is to seek for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure to visit the people in that area, and I ask: will she join me and others in a visit to the area where she proposes to build a sky rail, which was ruled out by her and the member for Mordialloc before the last election?
