Suburban Rail Loop

John PESUTTO (Hawthorn – Leader of the Opposition) (09:34): By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for Melton for recklessly putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop while leaving Melton South Primary School unfunded, shamelessly neglecting the educational needs of local children and families.

Leave refused.

John PESUTTO: By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for Melton for putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop while breaking their promise to electrify the Melton line, leaving locals with overcrowded platforms, slower trains, longer commutes and less time at home.

Leave refused.

John PESUTTO: By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and member for Bendigo East for recklessly prioritising the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop, putting all their eggs in one basket while leaving White Hills Primary School unfunded, shamelessly neglecting local children and their education.

Leave refused.

Peter WALSH (Murray Plains) (09:36): By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for Eureka for recklessly putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop while shelving the Western Rail Plan, forcing the Bacchus Marsh community to have longer commute times, slower trains and less time at home.

Leave refused.

David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (09:37): I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for Greenvale for putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop while refusing to fund the stage 2 duplication of Craigieburn Road, leaving locals with more traffic, longer commutes and less time at home.

Leave refused.

David SOUTHWICK: By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for St Albans for putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop while abandoning stage 2 of the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre, showing blatant disregard for community health and wellbeing.

Leave refused.

David SOUTHWICK: By leave, I move:

That this house condemns the Premier and the member for Kalkallo for putting all their eggs in one basket with the $216 billion Suburban Rail Loop and not the duplication of the Donnybrook Road and the electrification of the Craigieburn line to Wallan, leaving locals with longer commutes and less time at home.

Leave refused.
