Motions

Motions by leave

Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (09:37): I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Allan Labor government for ignoring the pleas of the children’s commissioner two years ago, who warned children will be at risk if the government did not fund the reportable conduct scheme, leaving vulnerable children in reported abusive situations, resulting in hundreds of children being abused in our childcare system.

Leave refused.

Tim READ (Brunswick) (09:37): I move, by leave:

That the genocide in Gaza is worsening, with Israel starving the population, and that this house calls on the federal Labor government to sanction Israel and to end all military ties with that country.

Leave refused.

Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (09:38): I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Allan Labor government for allowing the children’s commissioner’s position to remain vacant without leadership even when this crisis was publicly exposed, leaving Victorian children at further risk of abuse. The position remains vacant.

Leave refused.

Roma BRITNELL: I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Premier and the Labor government for voting down the urgent reforms to Victoria’s broken working with children check system, choosing to play politics rather than implement the Ombudsman’s recommendations from three years ago and strengthen child safety from three years ago.

Leave refused.

Bridget VALLENCE (Evelyn) (09:38): I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Leader of the House for not appointing an opposition member to the Privileges Committee despite the opposition complying with every one of her requests on this matter and defying a longstanding tradition of agreement on these matters.

Leave refused.
