Melbourne’s Transport System: Freeways versus Public Transport

This forum will provide an opportunity to canvass the policy issues underpinning the transport debate with
Carlo Carli MP - Member for Brunswick, former Parliamentary Secretary for Infrastructure
Cr Janet Rice - Chairwoman, Metropolitan Transport Forum
Date & Time: Wednesday 5th March 2008, 6pm-7.30pm
