Southern Metropolitan Region

Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:05): (1362) I appreciate the opportunity to rise and ask the Minister for Roads and Road Safety a question. I was contacted by a constituent last month on 3 January about how she was home-invaded – four intruders broke into their home in Camberwell at 4:37 am. These are two seniors, and they had two cars stolen. One was found in somebody’s garage in Lynbrook and the other one was abandoned on the Monash Freeway with ripped tyres. The police were doing all that they could do, and they had nowhere to go. They were contacted about the Lynbrook one, but it took seven days for VicRoads to notify both the police and my constituents that their car had been found on the Monash with ripped tyres and abandoned. So the question I ask is: why did it take seven days for VicRoads to notify the police and the owners of this car that their car was in this state on the Monash Freeway?

Sitting suspended 1:07 pm until 2:12 pm.
