Rowville electorate schools
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (09:52): I rise to condemn the government and their 10th budget. Once again residents in my electorate of Rowville have been neglected by the Premier and her Labor government. The schools in the Rowville electorate are in just desperate need of funding, both Rowville and Scoresby Secondary – amazing schools that through no fault of their own need urgent upgrades. But it is not just Scoresby and Rowville Secondary that need support, it is all the schools in my electorate that this government needs to support. Heany Park, Karoo, Lysterfield, Park Ridge, St Simon’s, Rowville Primary School, Scoresby Primary School and Carrington have all been shafted by this government. The $10 million election promise for Carrington Primary School once again has been cut in this budget by the government. Labor cannot manage money, and our schools are paying the price of Labor’s debt. Labor’s $25 million interest payment per day would easily fund upgrades to schools in the Rowville electorate. I hope that the Labor government will take note and actually support government schools in the Rowville electorate.
