 Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (14:00): I just want to rise to put on record my recent visits and admiration for the teachers and students at Birralee Primary School, who are working through very tough conditions after being ignored for 12 years by the Andrews and Allan Labor governments, despite their student enrolment rising from about 300 to 700 over that time. They do not have a hall. They have got nowhere undercover to look after those students. I have raised this matter before. It appears that they are never listened to. Despite many tours from Labor upper house MPs who are desperate to get pictures with parents, they will not do anything in terms of advocating for the school to get the money they need. It is the same with Templestowe College, where I also was last week. Templestowe College parents are doing their best with a government who give them nothing.
