New Premier, new attitude to active tranport?

Val and Faith share their bike moments; for Val a moment alongside the Yarra in training mode and for Faith a reminder of what a great night the Big Bike Film Night is! We discuss the changes in the Victorian government over the past week with the announcement of a new Premier, Ben Carroll, leading into the Victorian election. As Transport Minister in the past Ben Carroll attempted some positive changes public transport and for people interested in using a bike to get around, will this translate into his premiership? You can catch up with Peter Parker's thoughts here. And who will be our new Active Transport Minister? Or willl Deputy Gabrielle Williams want to retain the prestige of the role for herself? [sarcasm] Politics segues into the upcoming election and the Gimme 5 campaign with Bicycle Network and community groups across Victoria. Providing a dedicated funding stream for building startegic cycling corridors would certainly be a positive step towards the integrated transport system often described in government policy but rarely realised. Have you spent 2 minutes using the platform to send an email to your local MP? We also chat about the upcoming presentation by Marco te Brömmelstroet hosted by Bicycle Network on August 18th where Marco will talk about the Hill of Hysteria.
