 Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (10:21): Not having a drivers licence can be a significant source of disadvantage insofar as it limits people’s access to employment opportunities and services that they might need. In that respect I would like to very much thank the Darebin L2P program for the work they do to help young people in our area get a drivers licence in circumstances where they may not have access to a supervising adult or a car. I would like to particularly recognise longstanding volunteers Dawn Lowry, Philip Bouchier and Rhonda Otto and driving instructor Cheryl Davies, all of whom have been part of the program for its entire 15-year history, as well as program coordinator Angela Gilmore and Helen Reddan and all the team at the TAC, who support and fund the program on behalf of the Victorian Labor government.
