 Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (12:29): The year 3 students at Mentone Girls’ Grammar recently wrote me some lovely, lovely letters. I went and visited them, and we went through them one by one. Some of the issues that those year 3 students raised with me include keeping our community safe, supporting homeless people, their parents facing taxes that are far too high and access to health care – all very important issues. I put the Premier on notice: the girls also raised with me that they were very keen to see capybaras introduced into Victoria. I put the Premier on notice that she will be receiving correspondence from me advocating on behalf of these magnificent students for that outcome.

I have proudly stood and continue to stand with the community at Sandringham College in my community. Stage 1 of their development has been delivered, but it is not complete. I again call on the government to do the right thing by Sandringham College. Sandringham College is a wonderful community with a wonderful culture of teaching and learning and wonderful staff, but they need the buildings to match. I again put on record my enthusiasm for Sandringham College in advocating for their needs.
