 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:45): (1538) My question is to the Minister for Ports and Freight. Standing beside the padlocked gates, residents of Newhaven acknowledged the very first unhappy birthday of the closure of the jetty to the public on 1 May, rightly pointing out that in February, after a parliamentary debate led by the Nationals and commented on by the Liberals, divers conducted a structural inspection of the underside of the jetty and the pylons. This sparked interest that something is actually going to be done about saving this jetty, and my constituents want action. Will the minister release the engineering findings and cost estimates and collaborate honestly and transparently with the community as to a timeline for the jetty upgrades?
