Healthcare workers
Mr CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (10:02): Over the weekend I had the pleasure to be out doorknocking in the Mount Duneed growth corridor within my seat. I managed to, through that doorknocking, strike up a number of conversations through the afternoon with some of our fantastic healthcare workers who are living in that growth corridor and working at the University Hospital in Geelong. I had the pleasure of having a long conversation with them with regard to the work that they perform in the hospital setting in Geelong, and I was able to share with them all of the investments that the Andrews Labor government is making in our Victorian healthcare system. We very much respect and admire their hard work, particularly reflecting on all of the challenges that they have faced in their workplace in keeping their hospital safe and COVID free over the last few years. I very much respect and appreciate our nurses, who work hard every single day for the Victorian community, and I am very pleased with the historic investments that we are making.
