 Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (17:23): (1632) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Police, and the action that I seek is for the minister to join me at the Point Cook police station, which is under construction right now. We know we have more to do in terms of community safety, and we will keep turning up as a Labor government to do that. Part of that is building the police station at Point Cook, and that has solar panels now on the roof, the walls are up, and I look forward to seeing if the interiors are already underway. This is in addition to the commitment that we have made to the Werribee police station, the largest police station outside of the CBD, as well as the wonderful justice centre – 13 law courts down in East Werribee – again, the largest law courts facility outside the CBD. We have changed the laws in this state, and we will keep coming back to them if we need to. We have already seen remand up by a significant amount. I look forward to the minister coming and joining me in Point Cook and seeing the progress of the police station.
