Visited my state MP For #broadmeadows, Labor’s Frank McGuire, to ensure he has the opportunity of signing the #climateemergency declaration. Also made sure he got an invite to the Broadmeadows candidates forum on this Thursday organised by Fawkner Communuty House at 95 Major Rd, Fawkner 7pm-9pm. While I was there I also asked about the $5million #upfieldline upgrade and extension feasibility study that was completed last financial year and when it might be made public. I sent an email to him in August and a similar email to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan about this report. Minister Allan failed to answer my questions. At least she responded. I only got an auto-reply from Frank’s office, no follow up. Does he really deserve to be our representative with that level of constituent service? #vicvotes #vicvotes2018 #fawkner #climateaction #springst
