 Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:54): My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The North East Link Project environment effects statement predicts many daily breaches of the carcinogenic air pollution standard of PM2.5. It is laid out clearly in chapter 10, figure 10-8. PM2.5 is a by-product of diesel truck emissions, and the modelling was done near Marcellin College in Bulleen. Minister, what actions are you taking to protect the health of these school students and nearby residents when these breaches of safe air quality occur?
