$825 MIL. FOR LOCAL HOSPITALS: STATE MP
■ Mordialloc MLA Tim Richardson has praised the State Government for its allocation of $500 million for the Monash Meduical Centre upgrade, and $325 million for Dandenong. “Frankston is well and truly out of the ground. The member for Frankston – I mean, I do not know if there is anything left to build, seriously. He has done so much in Frankston,” Mr Richardson said. “That adds so much benefit for our communities in the south-eastern suburbs. When you look at the mental health and wellbeing wing and the oncology that will be supported, that will support so many in the electorate of Mordialloc. “We are really excited about those big infrastructure investments. There is the Royal Melbourne upgrade and what that will mean for our state. Then there are the regional and rural health upgrades that are coming as well, through Warragul. “So I am really excited and pumped about being in that space and the contributions that are going to be made. “Then I look at the story of Mordialloc and where we have got to in this time. The Frankston line will be level crossing free by 2029. “We have seen a substantial transformation. Do you remember those opposite said it was a fantasy that level crossings would be removed – could not do it, too much disruption? “I think the member for Caulfield had a rant about that. The former Premier Denis Napthine said it would not be done. “Now they come and petition for the level crossings to be removed. The Liberals in my patch were petitioning for level crossings to be removed. I thought, ‘Goodness me.’ I mean, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. “It was an extraordinary presentation: ‘Oh, can you remove this six months sooner?’ That was the answer to them talking down level crossing removals. Now they love it. Now it was their idea. “The Mordy freeway – the member for
● Tim Richardson, Mordialloc MLA Nepean, who found Nepean about 12 months ago, would use the Mordy freeway to up get into town. Liberals claim that it was somehow their idea. They never funded it. “They business-cased it to go up to Lower Dandenong Road as a 60-kilometre goat track. Well, we have got a Mordialloc Freeway there that is taking 60,000 vehicle movements; that was an extraordinary project for our community. There are so many more things to do through our local patch, and when we see the Frankston level crossing removals continue it is a really exciting thing. “Then you look at the Metro Tunnel. We were under there the other day. It is extraordinary – absolutely extraordinary. I could not believe it, when you think of how transformational this will be. I got to tour the new CSL site with former Premier John Brumby the other day. I said, ‘John, mate, you left $50 million on the books for the former Liberals.’ He said, ‘I did, didn’t I? Yes, I did. I left it for them to start that project.’ They could not find that. They wasted that, chucked that on the shelf, and it took an Andrews Labor Government to come back and deliver this project, something that should be of great pride,” Mr Richardson said.
