Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria

James NEWBURY (Brighton) (09:51): For too long the Labor government has failed to provide an acceptable births, deaths and marriages service. Victorians often report the service and for years have reported the service being closed and with no response from the call centre at all. As my constituent Jenny recently said, ‘I made back-to-back phone calls with assurances of call backs. None have been returned.’ The system is clearly broken. Labor need to fix this important service to the community, and they have not after years of complaints.
