 Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Veterans) (10:00): On another matter, I was happy to start the morning talking to my local traders in St Albans today, informing them of our announcement that more PSOs are being recruited to patrol our shopping strips such as St Albans. This is welcome news to St Albans traders and is part of the Carroll Labor government putting safety first to help fight crime and keep our community safe. As a lifelong local of St Albans, I know this is so important for our community, and I have called on Brimbank City Council to work in partnership to address the issues of St Albans traders and ensure that our community is safe and vibrant for all.
