 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (14:13): (1346) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it is to ask the minister if she will install some street lighting on Somerton Road between Aitken Boulevard and Fleetwood Drive. The neglectorate of Greenvale is just that – neglected. It has had lots of ministerial visits recently. Almost once a week I see different ministers out in Greenvale. They must be sniffing the wind out there. But I am asking the minister to drive along Somerton Road at night and see how safe she feels. I have asked about this before. It is very unsafe to drive along Somerton Road and indeed the deep end of Mickleham Road as well, where there are no streetlights. The minister can do something about this. She can fund streetlights on Somerton Road so that residents in the north feel safe. The other side might jeer, but I care about my community and care about them being safe on our roads.

Melina Bath: On a point of order, Acting President, as is customary at the end of constituency questions I have got to notify the house that there is an outstanding question I would like to be answered. It happens to be constituency question 1256.
