 Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Leader of the House, Minister for Police, Minister for Community Safety, Minister for Victims, Minister for Racing) (17:26): The member for Lowan raised a matter for the Minister for Energy and Resources, and the action she sought was for the minister to join her and her community in her electorate. The member for Mordialloc raised the matter for the Minister for Health Infrastructure, seeking the action of an update on the construction of the Monash hospital centre in Clayton. The member for Polwarth raised a matter for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and the action he sought was the immediate addition of three extra carriages to the Warrnambool train line service, which I know many people used on their way to the Warrnambool jumps carnival, which was a great success last week.

The member for Narre Warren South raised a matter for the Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC, and the action he sought was for the minister to provide an update on how the extra funding that the Allan government has provided will improve conditions for workers in his Narre Warren South electorate. The member for South-West Coast, who is no longer with us, raised a matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action she sought was compensation for motorists regarding road repairs and their effects in a town in her electorate. The member for Glen Waverley raised a matter for the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, seeking the action of an update on public parking plans and how that will be managed. The member for Brunswick raised a matter for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, seeking the duplication of the last section of the single track on the Upfield line between Gowrie and Upfield.

The member for Albert Park raised a matter for the Minister for Housing and Building, and the action she sought was that the minister join her at Madden House in St Kilda, where the Allan Labor government, under her advocacy, has supported an investment of some $6 million to support rough sleepers. The member for Prahran raised a matter for the Minister for Housing and Building, and the action that she sought was the immediate signing off of guidance notes for glamping and other recreational activities which she outlined in her contribution. The member for Pascoe Vale, the Parliamentary Secretary for Community Safety, raised a matter for the Minister for Education, and the action he sought was the consideration of further support for and investment in projects put forward by hardworking schools in his electorate. I commend those matters for action.

The SPEAKER: Thank you, Leader of the House. Thank you, members. Can I also, as always at the end of the sitting week, thank our clerks and our parliamentary staff for their support. The house now stands adjourned.

House adjourned 5:29 pm.
