Yan Yean electorate
Lauren KATHAGE (Yan Yean) (14:51): (1283) My question is for the Minister for Children. Yesterday, doorknocking in Doreen, I met a mum of a 10-week-old baby that sleeps for 2-hour naps and 5-hour stretches at night. I have got to tell you, I was jealous, quite frankly. It is not common to have such fantastic sleepers, and so that is why when I am out doorknocking I always carry with me a flyer for our early parenting centre in South Morang, because I know how important it is to have those services available for families who might be having difficulty with kids sleeping or eating et cetera – it is a real lifesaver. I am so pleased that in Wallan we will have the integrated family centre starting construction soon, with many millions invested by this government. So I ask the minister: what services will be available for families in Wallan who are not as lucky as the mum in Doreen?
