Emma KEALY (Lowan) (09:54): In 2023 the then Minister for Mental Health announced mental health and wellbeing locals for Horsham, Hamilton and Ararat. Yet three years later there is no sign of any funding flowing, no buildings are being planned and most importantly there is no indication that there is any improved access to mental health supports. Our region has never needed access to mental health supports more than we do at the moment. Whether it is areas that have been hit by drought or the bushfire impacts – whether it is the Grampians bushfires, the Little Desert bushfires or more recently the Natimuk, Noradjuha, Quantong, Streatham and Skipton bushfires – we simply need more support. We have also of course got the local impact of the fallout of the Allan Labor government’s appalling engagement around key projects. Whether it is about VNI West, whether it is about the renewables rollout or whether it is about mining, the appalling consultation legislation brought through that has taken away the voice of local people and mistreated local people is just causing so much harm to people’s mental health. This has been exacerbated by rising fuel costs and the impact on supply of diesel across our region. Every Victorian household is feeling this but even more so are our Victorian farmers. They are not hoarding fuel; they are planning for the upcoming seeding and spraying season and the harvest later in the year. They are using this fuel to feed stock. They need fuel because no fuel means no food.
