Our trains run at a snail’s pace compared to many parts of Asia and Europe.
Can you imagine what it would be like if you could travel to Melbourne from Traralgon in less than an hour? And we had faster and more reliable services connecting travellers from Bairnsdale and Sale?
The social and economic benefits would be significant and help connect our region to more job opportunities.
While the rail services are owned and operated by the State Government, there is a role for the Federal Government in terms of regional growth and population policy.
Today the Federal Government announced $8 million to fund a business case to work out whether the faster train plan to Traralgon will stack up.
When I was Transport Minister, I secured $504 million in Federal funding for the Gippsland line but that only catches up with the work that should’ve been done years ago.
The fast train study is about building a much better service for the future.
The current travel times, coupled with infrequent and unreliable services, are not meeting our community's needs and they certainly won't meet our needs in the future.
This funding will enable planning work and studies to be done so we can work out the best way to give Gippslanders a better public transport network for the future.

Some good news for our farmers with Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud announcing a further $3.7 million for the Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) on his visit to East Gippsland.
RFCS is vital for farmers facing hardship and trying to get their head around the range of assistance and programs available. Rural Finance Counsellors can provide farmers the exact information they require and refer them to other services and support programs where appropriate.
The service here in Gippsland will get an extra $230,000 to hire an additional counsellor and continue helping the many farmers across Gippsland.
More information is available at www.agriculture.gov.au/rfcs #lovegippsland
