Southern Metropolitan Region
Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:47): (682) My constituency question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. I have raised this issue on numerous occasions, and it is in relation to graffiti on public transport assets. I was quite disturbed last week when I was in High Street, Malvern, to see a bus shelter having quite graphic political messaging around the dispute in the Middle East, and this is really concerning for many members of the Jewish community in my electorate of Southern Metropolitan Region. I was again driving along Alexandra Avenue, and the political messaging is all over the rail pass that goes to South Yarra station. And this is ongoing – these messages are everywhere. They are very disturbing for large numbers of the community. I understand there are two sides to the argument, but I would urge the minister to get their teams out and to clean this very disturbing and appalling messaging off public transport assets.
