METROPOLITAN TRANSPORT FORUMS

The Metropolitan Transport Forum (MTF), of which the Public Transport Users Association (PTUA) is an associate member, is holding public transport forums in various areas around Melbourne in the lead-up to November’s state election.

The forums will feature speakers from all the major parties and questions from the community.

Six forums are planned so far, including at the Box Hill Town Hall on 30 August (with Robert Clark, MLA Box Hill): details can be found here.

BNFNG letter to Mr Josh Frydenberg

In this final week of campaigning for the Federal election, residents would most likely have received a personalised letter from Mr Josh Frydenberg (the Liberal candidate for Kooyong) detailing some key election policies.

Interestingly, the letter states the following:

"Some of my local commitments in Kooyong include:

• ...
• $375,000 in direct action environmental initiatives at Koonung Creek Reserve...

...PS. I'm asking you to vote Liberal on Saturday to ... get things done locally."

In response (and given the ongoing frustration in dealing with State respresentatives and VicRoads), Mary of BNFNG has written to Mr Frydenberg seeking assistance in regard to the noise dilemma we continue to endure.

[Read the letter here (~115KB) or visit the BNFNG Releases web-page.]

Don't forget to vote on Saturday 21st August (and in the upcoming State election too...)
