World Veterinary Day

Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for Housing, Minister for Water, Minister for Equality) (10:09): I want to make reference to last Saturday, which was World Veterinary Day, and in doing so I want to acknowledge that veterinarians the world over are essential healthcare workers. So to every veterinarian across Victoria who responds in times of crisis, of natural disaster and of emergency and who deals with people at their most vulnerable – when those furry, feathered or scaled friends we know, we love and we call our own families are in times of increased vulnerability needing their expertise – thank you. Thank you to every vet and every vet nurse out there who makes a power of difference.
