Members Statements – Western Victoria public transport

Victorian Parliament – 22 May 2018 – Ms KEALY – It was extremely disheartening to hear that public transport in western Victoria had been completely overlooked in the Andrews Labor government’s recent budget. With no mention at all of a plan to bring back passenger rail to the region, review Labor’s disastrous timetabling changes, which resulted in…

Members Statement – Western Victoria Public Transport

Victorian Parliament – 8 May 2018 – Ms Kealy – Today I experienced firsthand the frustration of many western Victorians who are fed up with poor public transport under this city-centric Labor government. It took over 5 hours to travel 300 kilometres from Horsham to Melbourne on V/Line, including a 50-minute wait for a connecting train at Ballarat.…

Members Statement – Borung Highway Road Safety

Victorian Parliament – 8 May 2018 – Ms KEALY – I have been inundated with complaints from constituents deeply concerned by the latest botched rollout of centre-line rumble strips on narrow and crumbling country roads.

How disappointing it would be for the…

Members Statements Electric Bicycles

Victorian Parliament – 22 February 2018 – Ms KEALY – I wish to raise a matter regarding e-bikes in the community of Halls Gap. We have an issue where e-bikes are travelling along the shared path for bikes and pedestrians, and there have been a number of bikes which are travelling over 25 kilometres per hour and putting…

Regional and rural roads – roads funding

Victorian Parliament – 14 December 2018 – Ms KEALY – I would like to address the mistruth that the Minister for Roads and Road Safety is currently peddling regarding roads funding. When compared to the last Liberal-Nationals actual road asset management budget spend plus CPI, the Andrews Labor government have cut almost $77 million in 2016 and almost…
