Train Lighting Petition

Today I tabled an important petition signed by 6,600 concerned Australians calling for mandatory minimum standards for train lighting. The absence of a legal requirement has led to preventable deaths from vehicles colliding with oncoming trains. The introduction of mandatory minimum lighting was recommended back in 2001. I call on Labor to reconsider their position and implement these lighting standards. Thank you to the Member for North West Central, Merome Beard MLA and Lara Jensen for your leadership on this issue.
