Constituency questions

Southern Metropolitan Region

Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (12:35): (1952) My constituency question today is regarding the level crossing removals that are proposed down at Parkdale and Mentone, and I ask the government to reconsider these in the light of huge community opposition. I ask the Minister for Transport Infrastructure to visit the Parkdale traders and visit those in the Mentone area to ascertain the strong level—the mounting level—of resistance to the proposed way forward by the government. It is not too late to revisit these matters. It is not too late for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure to actually listen to the community. My question is very simple: is the minister prepared to visit the Parkdale traders and the Mentone community regarding those level crossing removals?
