Eastern Victoria Region
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:52): (1776) My constituency question is for the Premier. A constituent in Hastings is deeply anxious about her child’s safety, because they must attend child care so she can work to buy food. Langwarrin is one of the highest areas for mortgage insecurity, and this is one of the reasons why. Her question is: why has the Premier allowed Jaclyn Symes to continue to be on her leadership team, since she was the Attorney-General when the Ombudsman handed down their report into child safety? The report made multiple recommendations, yet not a single one was enacted. My constituent believes this failure has contributed to the tragic cases that we have been debating over the last few weeks.
The PRESIDENT: We might review that, because it is ‘My constituent asked’ and a global issue. I am not saying it is going to be knocked out, but we will just have a look at it.
Renee HEATH: Do you want me to reword it around?
The PRESIDENT: No. It might be okay, but I am just thinking about how ‘My constituent asked’ a big global question when it is supposed to be around your constituency.
