Clarinda electorate
Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (09:55): It has been great to be out doorknocking over the last few weeks in Clarinda, Cheltenham, Mentone and Dingley Village. It has been great to hear the positivity about the electorate but also to acknowledge the concern of constituents. For example, Mary from Cheltenham expressed concern around crimes, the importance of quality public health care and consultation on major infrastructure projects and local development, ensuring amenity for local residents. I share her concerns, particularly around community safety, and was glad to hear from the Attorney-General on the government’s new tough bail laws to keep Victorians safe, putting community safety above all and creating the toughest bail laws ever for serious offences, targeting repeat offenders of the worst crimes. Thank you to Mary and all of my constituents. The feedback is important to me and important to the government.
