 Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (14:37): (1727) My constituency question is for the Minister for Cost of Living. How many people across my electorate have claimed Victorian Labor’s 20 per cent off car rego? The 20 per cent off rego closes this Friday. That is up to 186 bucks back in your pocket, or 372 bucks if you have two cars, for rego you have paid since July last year. I know heaps of people have already taken advantage of this Labor government initiative, helping with the cost of living, but the price of fuel is on the rise again and I want to make sure everyone eligible applies before Friday. You just need to jump on the Service Vic app with your bank details, rego and licence numbers, or you can drop into my office at Broady shopping centre if you need a hand. My friendly staff have already helped hundreds of locals, and while you are on the Service Vic app, check out the Servo Saver feature to find the cheapest fuel and the savings finder to see other discounts and rebates. And do not forget, half-price public transport continues until the end of the year.

Bridget Vallence: On a point of order, Speaker, I have a number of questions that remain unanswered and are overdue by the ministers in this Labor government. They are question on notice to the Treasurer 2421, which is 14 months overdue, and also questions on notice to the Treasurer 3237, 3238, 3239, 3240, 3241, 3242, 3256 and 3340. Questions on notice to the Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs 3408, 3412 and 3413 are overdue. Questions on notice to the Minister for Finance that are overdue are 3420, 3422, 3423, 3427, 3430, 3431, 3435, 3436, 3439, 3502, 3503, 3504 and 3505. Labor members might laugh, but my constituents would really appreciate an answer.
