 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:51): My constituency question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and it concerns the new youth Myki scheme. I have spoken to many constituents who have been very happy to take up this service. Indeed just a little while ago I was at Berwick station filming perhaps a video on this topic and had some schoolkids come up and ask me about it. They were very, very excited about what it means for them not just for getting to school but for going about on the weekend for any jobs that they might take up and just for socialising. For constituents like the ones I spoke to recently at Berwick station I would like the minister to please tell me how the government is making public transport cheaper for them and what the effects on my constituents would be if the Liberal Party cut this program.
