Community safety

 Martin CAMERON (Morwell) (10:26): I have raised a few times in this place and spoken about the Gordon family and the outcomes with Dr Ash Gordon. Yesterday the sentence was handed down for Dr Ash Gordon. As Glenn and Catherine Gordon said in the paper, in the media, and also privately, their family gets a life sentence. Our hearts go out to them, and we stand beside them as they move forward. Nat Gordon, who has been the face and the voice behind everything that has happened with her beloved brother Dr Ash, said that there is more still to be done so no other family has to go through what they went through. Dr Ash, as we know, was stabbed six times on a street in Melbourne and lost his life. Nat does not want that to happen to any other person or any other family. So we have more work to do here in the chamber as MPs to make sure that we protect people and keep them safe. My commitment to Nat and the family is that I will constantly be pushing to make sure these laws do come through and we are protecting all Victorians into the future.
