Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (17:46): (719) I seek action from the Minister for Energy and Resources. While she may have been unaffected at her home in Brunswick, her constituents in Melbourne’s north were doing it tough with significant power disruptions. The minister has allowed Victoria to slip to its weakest redundancy in energy in a generation, so disruptions like this wreak havoc on families, on businesses and on our state’s reputation in particular. The action I seek is I would like the minister to join me to come and meet residents and businesses so that she can understand the consequences for this in our mutual community.
