 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:35): (1678) My question today is for the Minister for Education. Will the minister adopt the Liberal Party’s six-point plan to reform Victoria’s childcare system, including urgently fixing the working with children check loopholes? Parents in Victoria were extremely shocked to learn that a woman who pleaded guilty to infanticide and left the surviving twin daughter with lifelong brain damage was still cleared to work with children in Victoria. I ask the minister to take real action, not just do another review, and implement these science-backed reforms, which would keep our children safe.

The PRESIDENT: Dr Heath, you need to relate that to your region.

Renee HEATH: I forgot to mention children in the Eastern Victoria Region.
