Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:47): (559) My matter is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. It concerns the Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Level Crossing Removal Project on the edge of my electorate and the appalling and thuggish behaviour of the individual who threatened businesses – Lance Wilson, employed by the LXRP – and the complaints that were made by people to that authority, particularly Tony Chiodo from the Mont Albert and Surrey Hills traders association. He describes the total contempt of Mr Wilson for locals:

The fact that he still works for the public after what he did, how he treated the fish-and-chip people … it’s an absolute joke …

That is right. The complaints were made. The thuggish, bullying behaviour by Mr Wilson occurred, and he should not be employed. In that context, I am asking: will the minister investigate, seek a report on Mr Wilson’s behaviour and ensure that he is run out of the authority?
