Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (13:04): I call on the Allan Labor government to assist the communities of Strathmerton, Cobram and Numurkah, who are devastated by the news of 300 jobs leaving the area and being relocated to New South Wales. Many families will be hurt, and the flow-on effect into local towns will be detrimental to the bottom line of businesses. Without an autumn break to speak of thus far, things are grim, and it is getting worse for our region. We need investment in our region to bring jobs back to town, not more taxes that drive businesses to New South Wales.
