Doncaster Baseball Club
Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (09:43): Last week I was very pleased to attend the opening of the Deep Creek Reserve pavilion, which is the home of the Doncaster Dragons baseball club. The baseball club is a fabulous local institution. They needed a new upgrade of the facilities, particularly as they have got a growing amount of players that are women and young girls, and the new pavilion is looking fantastic. It is right near Andersons Creek, where in 1851 Louis John Michel found gold in Victoria for the first time. The baseball club borders that, which is apt because it cost $3 million to build but the state government could hardly put any money in because they are broke. Now we look at the papers this morning and find that, not content with putting more debt on the credit card than any Treasurer in Australian state political history, Tim Pallas is going to rack up another $12 billion. Where does the credit card end? Twelve billion dollars more. No Geelong fast rail, goodbye airport rail, goodbye western rail – cannot afford it, cannot do it. He has got to beg overseas like a scrounger all he can because he is out of money. This is what happens when you cannot manage money. Paraguay, Nicaragua, Belarus, Victoria – that is what we are becoming under the Labor Party.
The SPEAKER: Order! I remind members to call members by their correct titles.
