 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (14:51): (2346) On Sunday I was in St Arnaud at a community rally where concerned locals were fighting the state government and defending their community. Despite multiple promises about a return to rail in 12 Labor budgets, there has been no funding made available to return rail services to St Arnaud along the Mildura line. Will the Minister for Public and Active Transport commit to meeting locals and working through potential options? Martha Haylett, the local member, has been totally disinterested and did not even go near the rally.
