Constituency questions
Caulfield electorate
David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (14:41): (140) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Last night two people were tragically killed in a horror crash on North Road, Caulfield South, in my electorate. It was reported that a black BMW was travelling along North Road at about 10:45 pm when it hit a sedan with such force that it caused the sedan to roll. Both occupants died at the scene, and my thoughts are with their loved ones. I have spoken to a shaken-up first responder who said that speeding along North Road has been a problem for a very, very long time. It is one of those things where the best way to save lives is to have a camera that gets people to slow down. I would implore people to slow down and to do the right thing. In November 2021 I wrote to the minister and laid on the table a petition on behalf of concerned Gardenvale Primary School parents along with a number of other constituents calling for road safety. We must get road safety, and we must get it now.
