Western Victoria fires

Emma KEALY (Lowan) (09:42): I neglected to mention yesterday in my contribution during the matter of public importance debate the great work of Emergency Recovery Victoria, and in particular I would like to mention Angela Carey and Kendra Clegg, who have done an outstanding job in supporting the community through their recovery. I would also like to acknowledge Abbie Wilson from National Insurance Brokers. Abbie is an absolute superstar. She has been an advocate for people who have not been fully insured, and we have had wonderful news this morning. There was a premium that was not paid three months ago because an elderly woman was transitioning into care, and we have got news this morning that the insurance will be reinstated and the claim for her house, which burnt to the ground, will be covered in full. Congratulations, Abbie, and well done to the family for advocating for that.
