 Jacinta ALLAN (Bendigo East – Premier) (14:31): I have got some important information to update the house on this afternoon, and it is about our rego refund rebate. I want to make sure everyone in the house knows that 1.4 million drivers have already applied for their 20 per cent rego rebate, and over $34 million is starting to land in people’s bank accounts – money back to families, money for motorists – and this is making a big difference. I want to share some further information with the house. It is not just Victorians who love it; there are many in this chamber as well. We all know on this side of the house we are backing our government’s rego rebate, but there are a few others who have joined us as well. I would like to thank the member for Mornington for ‘spreading the word’ on Facebook, urging Victorians to not miss out on applying for their rego rebate. I would like to thank the member for Croydon, who has also joined in. I know props are not appropriate, but for those who want to go and check out the remarkable graphics and the traffic lights, well done, member for Croydon, who is certainly making sure his community is ready, set, claim on their rebate. And finally, to the member for Murray Plains – a helping hand with your rego rebate. I know the member for Murray Plains is always looking for ways to be helpful with his community. We will continue to back Victorians to get their rego rebate. The Leader of the Opposition opposes it; we are backing it.
