Bushfire preparedness
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:50): On another matter, I would like to acknowledge some recently announced funding, particularly for schools in regional Victoria but also in my electorate of South-Eastern Metropolitan Region, including Beaconsfield Upper Primary School and Harkaway Primary School, which are both receiving funds for bushfire preparedness and for various maintenance and other vegetation-clearing projects. As we approach the warmer months, it is really critical that we are ensuring that our schools are as safe as they possibly can be, as we continue to support our CFA and other firefighting agencies to protect us in times of need.
