Werribee electorate infrastructure

The question put

That this house notes: (1) the resignation of the Honourable Tim Pallas, former Treasurer, as the member for Werribee; (2) the by-election is to be held in Werribee on 8 February 2025; (3) that Labor has taken Werribee and other western Melbourne seats for granted for too long, failing to provide adequate infrastructure given the massive population growth, including: (a) electrifying lines to Wyndham Vale, despite promising to do so; (b) neglecting Werribee’s bus network, which will suffer another blow after manufacturers were banned by Labor from ordering replacement diesel buses; (c) building adequate road infrastructure, forcing the growing local community to wait endlessly in traffic; (d) the Suburban Rail Loop West, which has no estimated construction and completion dates and is simply a cynical ploy by Labor to string along the long-suffering people of the west; and calls on the Labor government to finally prioritise the people of Werribee over Premier Jacinta Allan’s Suburban Rail Loop.
