 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (15:57): I am thrilled – absolutely delighted, in fact – to be back in this great house after being successfully re-elected for a third term as part of this progressive, strong, dynamic, inclusive Andrews Labor government. I will make more formal thankyous and acknowledgements at a later date, but I do want to take this opportunity to thank my community for their support and of course the broader Labor team. To continue to deliver in roads, in rail, in schools, in health care and to continue to do the things that matter – upgrading local facilities, making sure that we continue to invest in all of the services that a growing community needs – is something this government will continue to do. I am immensely proud and incredibly grateful for the support and humbled by the victory. But what we do with this victory is what matters. That can be building the multideck carpark, upgrading Sunbury Road, upgrading our local bus terminal, continuing to deliver a huge upgrade to Gladstone Park Secondary College, delivering a brand new splash park at the Sunbury aquatic centre and of course upgrading Goonawarra Neighbourhood House. These are just some of the projects that this government will continue to get on and deliver, but we were resoundingly re-elected because we get things done; we do the things that matter. Today and every day going forward we will continue to be a government for all people across this state.
