Constituency questions
Southern Metropolitan Region
Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (13:56): (1758) I rise again on the matter of the Surrey Hills and Mont Albert level crossings for the attention of the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. I still have not received any indication that the minister is prepared to attend with me and others to see the damage and destruction that has been wrought at Surrey Hills and Mont Albert. We have seen the destruction of Lorne Parade Reserve. My question is very simply: will she reconsider and agree to meet me and local community representatives? Mr Atkinson would well be there, and Dr Bach would be there as well, and we would seek to impress upon the minister the mistakes that are being made. It is not sufficient for the minister just to put her head in the sand and refuse to engage on these matters, given the terrible destruction that is being done at Surrey Hills and Mont Albert.
