Ripon electorate
Ms STALEY (Ripon) (11:37): (730) My question is to the Attorney-General. I have a number of constituents who have come to see me about outstanding death certificates. The question I ask her is: could she please investigate why people are having to wait over five weeks to get a death certificate issued and receive repeated answers from the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages that the certificate is in the mail? As people would be aware, there are a number of legal processes that are reliant upon a death certificate being issued, not the least of which is probate but also things like finalising electricity accounts and others. I now have up to half a dozen constituents who are having trouble through their funeral directors getting these death certificates, and I ask for some action, please.
