Defence industry
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (09:45): Finally, last Friday I attended the Avalon air show together with my colleagues the Leader of the Opposition and the Shadow Minister for Finance Jess Wilson. It is my strong opinion that Victoria should no longer raise the white flag when it comes to major defence contracts in this state. It is time for the Victorian government to support an expansion of defence industry activity in our state to support our workers and our manufacturers.
