My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Fishing and Boating, and the action that I seek is the immediate allocation of funding that is required to remediate and reopen Hampton Pier. Speaker, this matter may be familiar to you, because this marks the fourth time that I have raised the matter of Hampton Pier…
My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, who I note is in the chamber this evening. The action that I seek is the immediate installation of traffic lights at a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Childers Street and Warrigal Road in Mentone.
