The member for Calwell should check with the clerks to see that the petitions comply. They can be accepted as long as they comply.

The petition read as follows—

To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:

This petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House the dangerous and congested condition of the Calder Highway between the intersections with Sunshine Avenue and Calder Park Drive. We call on the House to:

(1)

Acknowledge that this section of the Calder Highway is in desperate need of upgrading;

(2)

Guarantee funding for the construction of proposed interchanges at Kings Road, Calder Park Drive and Sunshine Avenue;

(3)

Subsequently enable the intersection with Robertsons Road to be closed; and

(4)

Support general improvements to the Calder Highway.

from 572 citizens
