 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (15:04): (1358) My question is to the Minister for Planning. Minister, what are the benefits of the Sunbury arts and cultural precinct as part of the Jacksons Hill master plan? It was terrific to have the Attorney-General, the Minister for Planning, in Sunbury last Friday night for what was a really significant and important event opening up Artrise, the brand new arts and cultural precinct, which is part of, or created by, the Jacksons Hills master plan. This site of course has operated in many different ways for many different decades. To have the Minister of Planning, the terrific Hume City Council mayor Jarrod Bell and many members of the community there with the minister was a really significant and important occasion. I want to thank everyone who has done some terrific work on this project. I look forward to the minister’s response.

Emma Kealy: On a point of order, Speaker, I want to bring your attention to question 1232, asked on 13 August to the Minister for Environment, which has not yet been responded to, and question number 1141, asked on 16 May to the Treasurer, which also has not been responded to. I note you have been very proactive in attempting to get a response, but I ask you to attempt again to seek for the ministers to attend to those matters.

Sam Groth: On a point of order, Speaker, I have an unanswered question to the Treasurer in regard to the house that collapsed at McCrae. The family is still waiting to have a waiver of their land tax bill.

The SPEAKER: What is the number of your question?

Sam Groth: Constituency question 1282.

The SPEAKER: Thank you, that is all you need to say in your point of order.

Bridget Vallence: Speaker, I too have a point of order – yet another point of order on unanswered questions, which I would really appreciate responses to for my constituents. Questions to the Treasurer that are unanswered are questions on notice 2421, 2512, 2777, 2853, 2854, 2855, 2856, 2857, 2858, 2859, 2860, 2861 and 2862. Also, questions overdue and unanswered by the Minister for Government Services are questions on notice 2763, 2764, 2765 and 2776. Overdue and unanswered by the Minister for Police is adjournment matter 1215. I would appreciate responses for my constituents, please.
