 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:44): My question is to the Minister for Victims, Minister Carbines, and it relates to the tragic death of Kaiden Morgan-Johnston in Morwell last month. Last week I met with Kaiden’s family – his mum and dad, Sascha and William, and extended family – who, as you would understand, are deeply distressed by this heartbreaking loss. His family expressed to me a strong desire for justice for Kaiden and law and order and meaningful action to ensure that such a tragedy does not occur again. They are seeking to understand what the government will do and can do to provide this justice and to keep other family members and community members safe into the future. The family has asked for an opportunity to meet with you, Minister, to directly discuss their concern and hear what steps the government is taking towards not only a safer Latrobe Valley but a safer Victoria. Minister, will you please meet with Kaiden Morgan-Johnston’s family?
