 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (13:04): (1954) My constituency question is to the Minister for Planning, and it concerns the residents of Prince Andrew Avenue in Lalor in my electorate. It has been reported that residents of Prince Andrew Avenue, as well as the local community more broadly, are concerned about the name of their street given the well-documented downfall of its namesake – the details of which I do not need to go through in this place, as a dedicated republican. I join with my friend and the newly elected local councillor Michael Labrador in saying that if someone has disgraced themselves and lost their title, they should not be honoured with a street name here in our state. I ask the minister: will you work with the local community on a new name, truly consult with them and ensure that any fees regarding change of address be waived once the name is changed?
