Bayswater electorate

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:47): (1165) My constituency question is to the Minister for Environment. The container deposit scheme has been a roaring success. Millions upon millions – or, in the words of Trump, ‘billions and billions’ – have now been returned, with 10 cents going to so many Victorians and many locally in my part of Knox. My question to the minister is: how many containers have been returned in the City of Knox?

Just quickly as well, I want to give a shout-out to Alex Forkas, who makes a fantastic coffee. This is his final week here, and I want to say a huge thankyou to him. He is a fantastic bloke. He makes a mean hot lactose-free latte with an extra shot of coffee. Thank you very much to you, Alex. I wish you all the best. And as always, thank you to the entire parliamentary catering team.
