 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (22:09): (1333) My adjournment matter tonight is for the member ‍– sorry, for the Minister for Environment, and the action I seek is that the minister join me to officially open the new Wantirna dog park and playground.

Tim Richardson interjected.

Jackson TAYLOR: It has been a while since I have done an adjournment, actually, which is kind of why I fumbled at the 50-yard line there. However, it is absolutely exciting. Works are nearly wrapped up. I was just taking the member for Mordialloc through all the work at the Wantirna dog park and new playground. It is on for young and old. I tell you what, it will be on for the pooches as well. They cannot wait. I have got my Penny, the cavoodle. She has not been in campaign material for a while. Unfortunately, she has also been shelved. There will not be any more campaign material for poor Penny – 2022, was it? It got a few extra votes, apparently, through the door. But she now has a dog park to look forward to, which is very exciting, down in Wantirna. I am looking forward to having the minister out there. This is something that I was very proud to advocate for and put forward when I was on local council, when I was the councillor for Collier ward. I got a master plan up and running, and now I am here in state government delivering the project. And hopefully if Steve – the minister – takes up my request, he will come out and help me open it.
