Constituency questions

Southern Metropolitan Region

John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:37): (563) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport in the other place Minister Williams. I want to update this place on some good news. This morning, while we were here, the Allan Labor government announced that recruitment will be starting soon for staff for the stations of the new Metro Tunnel underground, and we are hiring 100 new workers. Applications open on 22 November, just next week, for stationmasters to senior officers and assistance roles. It is now your chance to work at the new Arden, Parkville, State Library, Town Hall and Anzac stations. You will play a key role in getting passengers quickly and safely to their destinations. The Metro Tunnel will cut travel times to Parkville and St Kilda Road in my community of Southern Metro by up to 50 minutes. That is why my question is: how can my community of Southern Metro apply for these good, high-paying, local jobs?
