 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (14:38): (35) Thanks very much, Speaker. It is always great to see you. My question is for the fantastic Minister for Education. Minister, what is the latest information on construction time lines for this government’s outstanding upgrade at Sunbury West Primary School in my electorate? Tangible, significant, consistent and strong investment in teaching and learning is what this government is all about, and we are about creating the Education State. We know on this side of the house that within my local community, since coming to government, we have invested more than $70 million in local schools within my electorate. Compare that to $2 million under the former government over their four years when they had the opportunity to occupy the Treasury benches. We know that this investment in teaching and learning is critical to the development of students, not just in my electorate but right across the state. Again I take this opportunity to thank all of our teachers and all of our educators, who do a magnificent job right across the state.
