Big hART

Mr EDBROOKE: It was also a huge honour last week to celebrate the work of Big hART in Frankston and have the opportunity to experience the Something to Talk About project in action. I want to say a massive thankyou to all the young people who have shared their thoughts and reflections with us on the journey. I am also immensely grateful to Rosie Batty, Jeremy Nikora, Rebecca Robinson and Rory Blundell for taking the time to be on the panel. Also a special thanks to my good friend Peta Murphy, the member for Dunkley. Programs like this are fantastic, but they are not possible without community support, so an extra thankyou to the school staff and everyone in our community that support this program. I am proud that the Andrews Labor government has supported this program with $240 000 out of a Crime Prevention Innovation Fund grant as part of our building safer communities program.
