Members

Minister for Climate Action

Absence

Jacinta ALLAN (Bendigo East – Premier) (14:02): I wish to advise the house that for the purposes of question time today the Minister for Environment will answer questions for the portfolios of energy and resources, climate action and the SEC.

Will Fowles: On a point of order, Speaker, yesterday the Minister for Health in her answer said that an investigation was still being completed by Ambulance Victoria. The minister has subsequently advised me that that investigation has now been completed, and I wondered whether she might be given an opportunity to correct the record in relation to her answer yesterday.

The SPEAKER: I will take the point of order on notice.

Brad Battin: On a further point of order, Speaker, on Tuesday the Premier was asked a question in relation to the regulator visiting a centre a month after the date that it had been ordered to close and it was still operating. In her response she said:

In terms of the specific question around the activities of the independent regulator, I very clearly will need to seek advice on the way the regulator conducts investigations …

I was wondering if the Premier has that advice and can make it available to the house.

The SPEAKER: I will take that point of order on notice as well.
