 Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): My constituency question today is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Many people in my electorate have been forced to relocate due to the construction of the North East Link toll road, some for a temporary period and others permanently. I have heard from some residents that there seems to be some inconsistency in who was offered what type of compensation for relocation, and they are keen to understand how decisions are made to grant various types of compensation for relocation. Minister, what are the eligibility requirements for people who are temporarily displaced by the North East Link project to receive compensation to cover their additional travel expenses or food costs? And in the case of permanent relocation, under what circumstances are residents provided with new or additional furniture?
