Responses

Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery, Minister for Equality) (19:21): I do note it is unfortunate that we have only just recently had some visitors enter who are only seeing the last couple of minutes of our session.

The member for Lowan had a matter for the Premier and sought for her to respond to the member’s advocacy for the By Five Wimmera Southern Mallee program, for which the member is a strong supporter. The member for Wendouree sought for the Minister for Creative Industries to give her an update regarding the 10,000 Gigs fund and how it has benefited her community, notwithstanding the amazing amount of bands who have actually come and performed in her electorate. The member for Polwarth asked the Treasurer to visit his electorate over the coming weeks. The member for Bellarine sought for the Minister for Energy and Resources to give advice regarding the newly announced power saving rebate, for those who need it. The member for Narracan’s question was for the Minister for Police seeking additional resources for his community.

The member for Glen Waverley sought for the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence and Minister for Women to visit his community to talk about the work the Allan Labor government is doing to support women in his state, and I thank him for his advocacy. The member for Murray Plains had a matter for the Minister for Environment, where he is seeking for the EPA to visit and examine odour along the road in his electorate that is believed to be coming from cheese manufacturing. The member for Broadmeadows asked the Minister for Health to come with her to visit DPV Health. The member for Prahran asked the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to come and repair the potholes in her electorate. The member for Werribee asked the Minister for the State Electricity Commission for an update on how the SEC’s work will benefit his community. I will pass all of those on to the relevant ministers.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The house stands adjourned until tomorrow morning.

House adjourned 7:23 pm.
