Western Metropolitan Region
Mr FINN (Western Metropolitan) (12:21): (1630) My constituency question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. The land between Sunbury and Bulla was not so long ago a quintessential country setting: rolling paddocks with cows, sheep and horses. Clean, green and peaceful was the ambience of this area, slated as a green wedge. Turn the clock forward to February 2022 and that same land is now an environmental disaster. A towering mountain of God alone knows what, a periodic stench that sends locals into physical illness and the prospect of the dumping of asbestos at the Bulla tip have all occurred on the minister’s watch. The new tract of land has been claimed to build a repository for toxic soil from the Premier’s dodgy West Gate Tunnel Project. Recent dust storms at the proposed dump have made us realise that we will all be breathing in in a few months the carcinogenic dust particles. Minister, will you now accede to local residents’ requests and resign?
