Sunbury
Mr FINN (Western Metropolitan) (14:38): I remember when I first visited Sunbury. I would have been about 13 or 14 years of age. I actually fell in love with the place. I could not believe what a delightful place it was. I remember the locals right up until relatively recently being very proud of the slogan ‘City living, country style’, and that pretty much sums up Sunbury. But look what has happened now. If the Andrews Labor government had sat down and drawn up a plan, it could not have been more effective in destroying this beautiful place. The Sunbury Road disaster area—and it is a disaster area—just has to be seen to be believed. Not only are there more trucks than we have ever seen before, but of course we have the toxic soil dumps as well. We have the mud that the trucks take onto Sunbury Road. Now not only do we have toxic soil; we have toxic mud, one would assume. They take it in, and they take it out again. You can understand why people are very, very upset about what is happening there. Of course we have the roadworks now making it even worse with the relocation of a bottleneck. It is just absolute madness. Parking in Sunbury is insane. The government promised more; it has actually cut back. The railway crossing in Sunbury is going to be closed very soon. That will destroy business. The Andrews government is hell-bent on killing Sunbury.
