David asks a question on behalf of a constituent about Sunday bus services for the route 415 Laverton Station – Williamstown via Altona.

David raises the issue of promised amenities in Mount Atkinson which have not been delivered. He asked the Minister for Consumer Affairs what protections and redress are available for residents.

Western Metro MP David Ettershank says he is elated that the multinational freight company Pacific National has decided against building a $5 billion freight terminal that would have devastated native grasslands and rare animals on the edge of Melbourne.

David gives a statement about attending a protest against a mega freight terminal in the town of Little River. He raised community concerns around its location and potential ecological destruction if the project goes ahead.

Around 250 residents of Little River, a small community near Werribee, have protested against a corporate giant’s plan to build a multi-billion-dollar freight terminal next to western grasslands and upstream from internationally significant wetlands.
