North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Matthew BACH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:54): (330) I have a question today for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I was interested to read that recently Infrastructure Victoria has recommended further investigation into the construction of the outer metropolitan ring-road. Now, this is an important project, especially for constituents of mine in Mill Park, in the new part of my electorate, and I would love to know the minister’s view on this important project. What is the minister’s view on the outer ring-road and the recommendation from Infrastructure Victoria? I had not previously engaged much with the community in Mill Park; however, at the last election Mill Park came into our shared electorate, and it was great to spend more time there. It was abundantly clear that when it comes to infrastructure matters, when it comes to education, when it comes to health, when it comes to all manner of different state government services, people in Mill Park – at least those still living – have been let down by the current member Lily D’Ambrosio for such a long period of time. So it is good to have Mill Park in the electorate. I am not surprised that there was a huge swing of 13 per cent to the Liberal Party at the last election. That is despite all the dead people voting for Lily. I am very keen to hear the view of the minister on this important matter.
