’Rup rail push Restore Rup Rail is a campaign petitioning for the Victorian Government to fund a Cranbourne to Kooweerup rail extension to improve public transport for residents in Melbourne’s South East. The petition calls for a commitment from a major party to “rebuild the Clyde to Kooweerup rail line with an additional station at Tooradin, to a double track electrified standard with trains running every 15 minutes”. State Hastings Member Neale Burgess MP has agreed to submit the petition to the Legislative Council of Victoria. The campaign was founded by Travis Mitchell who is pushing for support from local residents.
When I grow up Crocodile catchers, vets, emergency service workers, astronauts, florists, ballerinas, YouTubers, palaeontologists, film producers, performers, sports stars, musicians and a CEO of the world are among what Tooradin Primary School students want to be when they grow up. The dress up day was part of Education Week, which runs from 22 to 28 May and celebrates the strengths and achievements of Victoria’s government education sector. This year’s theme is 150 Years of Public Education, to coincide with this milestone anniversary for Victoria. STORY, PHOTOS PAGE 4

La Trobe residents have chosen Liberal candidate Jason Wood MP as their local member in the Federal Election held on 21 May. Mr Wood reclaimed the La Trobe electorate with a 3.5 per cent swing and said he was “humbled“ to retain his seat for a fourth consecutive term. Labor candidate Abi Kumar acknowledged Jason Wood for his re-election. “Both Jason and I ran strong campaigns, and the voters of La Trobe have made their voices heard. I wish him all the very best,“ Mr Kumar said. ELECTION COVERAGE PAGES 5-7
