 Anasina GRAY-BARBERIO (Northern Metropolitan) (14:07): (2474) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. The government recently announced more frequent services on the Craigieburn and Upfield lines, following longstanding advocacy from communities across Northern Metro Region and repeated calls from the Greens in this place. However, many of my constituents in Northern Metro Region continue to tell me that the cost of public transport is still a barrier to accessing public transport while juggling many other household and daily living expenses. Minister, will your Victorian Labor government finally make public transport permanently free so more Victorians and residents in Northern Metro can access free, affordable and accessible public transport?
