 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (14:11): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier guarantee that she has disclosed every meeting she has had in accordance with the ministerial code of conduct?

 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (14:12): Can the Premier guarantee that she has disclosed every meeting she has had with the Electrical Trades Union in accordance with the ministerial code of conduct?

 Jacinta ALLAN (Bendigo East – Premier) (14:12): Not only is the answer yes, but to provide some further information to the house I am proud to be the daughter of a life member of the Electrical Trades Union. I am proud myself to be a member of the Electrical Trades Union, because we on this side of the house stand with workers. We stand with working people, and that is why I was so proud to be with my colleagues recently with the mighty ETU announcing Australia’s first publicly owned apprenticeship academy. Why are we doing this? We are doing this so 2000 young Victorians can get an apprenticeship, can become a sparky and work on projects like renewable energy projects that the One Nation and Liberal parties oppose.
