 Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (20:59): (1371) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Environment. The action I seek is that the minister provide me with information to explain how the recently announced Illegal Dumping Taskforce, with extra financial support, will help clean up the Thomastown electorate. As residents might know, we all have a serious problem with rubbish dumping. I have conducted surveys, responded to residents’ complaints, pushed for council to act and install surveillance and also identified rubbish requiring VicRoads’ action, but the problem continues and we have all had enough. It is such a relief to hear this announcement, and residents are keen to find out more.
