Responses

Mr CARBINES (Ivanhoe—Minister for Police, Minister for Crime Prevention, Minister for Racing) (19:26): There are several matters for action for ministers. Firstly, the member for South-West Coast had a matter for the Minister for Health, to visit and meet with Portland District Health. The member for Narre Warren South sought a visit from the Minister for Education to Kambrya College, where there have been some very big budget investments. The member for Gippsland East, who is no longer with us this evening, raised a matter for the Minister for Environment and Climate Action, and that relates to infrastructure matters in the Orbost and Marlo communities around Cape Conran and repairs there.

The member for Bass raised a matter for the Minister for Housing around updates and would like a visit to the Bass electorate for updates on the Big Housing Build—some 12 000 and more new homes across the state. The member for Polwarth, who is also no longer with us, also raised a matter for the Minister for Energy, and he is keen on action and advice on power pole replacements—some 7000 new power pole replacements—and what is happening across the Polwarth electorate and those targets.

The honourable member for Hawthorn raised a matter for the Minister for Solar Homes. He would like the minister to visit the Hawthorn electorate and a particular residence where there has been funding through the Solar Homes program. The member for Prahran, who is also no longer with us this evening, raised a matter for the Minister for Education with regard to the St Kilda Primary School and funding that they are keen to get to build their community hub. The member for Broadmeadows—

Mr McGuire: We’re here for you, Carbs.

Mr CARBINES: Absolutely; no denying that—has raised a matter for action for the Minister for Health regarding the GP clinics across Broadmeadows and the $60 million government investment in local health services. The member for Sandringham, who is certainly with us this evening, raised a matter for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure about level crossings across the Highett area.

The member for Yan Yean raised a matter for the Minister for Commonwealth Games Delivery, and that relates to the opportunities across Ballarat and Bendigo, in particular through the Central Goldfields and the areas local to there, around the work that can be done to support opportunities for Commonwealth Games involvement for both volunteers and broadly around employment and other supports for our sporting codes and organisations in her very close work with our very hardworking candidate for Ripon, Martha Haylett. I commend all of those matters for action to the relevant ministers, and I will ensure they are forwarded to them directly.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The house now stands adjourned until tomorrow.

House adjourned 7.29 pm.
