Morwell electorate
Mr NORTHE (Morwell) (14:41): (6532) My question is directed to the Minister for Public Transport. Minister, what is the latest information with regard to the replacement of Melbourne’s Comeng trains, and will CRRC be engaged to participate in this replacement work? CRRC operates out of Morwell and has approximately 30 employees who are a key part of the supply chain within the current high-capacity metro trains project. However, the manufacturing phase of the HCMT project is quickly coming to an end, and without replacement work CRRC and its Morwell workers face an uncertain future. That is why I am raising today the necessity for the government to provide clear guidance and advice on making sure CRRC has the opportunity to participate in the Comeng replacement works. There has to be a smooth transition for the company and its employees from completing works on the HCMT project and then having the availability of further work with regard to the replacement train work. Anything less puts at risk 30 jobs in Morwell. I therefore implore the minister and the government to facilitate this transition.
