 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (10:07): It has been now over three years since I was elected to this place, and I would like to thank the good people of the Northern Metropolitan Region for electing me. We have achieved many great things over the past three years. The Liberal Party and I have worked tirelessly for you. I would like to sum up some of our achievements. Firstly, we saved the Glenroy RSL and forced the government to refund them for entitlements that were blocked by local governments. We of course saved the Wallan diamond from federal infrastructure review cuts. We successfully advocated for a bus from Greenvale to Craigieburn. We successfully advocated for a slip lane in Kalkallo and a footbridge too from Kalkallo to Donnybrook station. Of course we had Watson Street resurfaced due to dangerous potholes in Wallan. We had a huge victory and got Montego Homes and Chatham Homes victims’ deposits refunded after the government resisted. We got up a successful Ombudsman inquiry into the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority, which we saw yesterday. We saved duck hunting here in this state. We of course saved the Lord’s Prayer, an election commitment made in this place and publicly by the government, which the Premier recently at a Lebanese event said was not actually a commitment by the government. Of course we campaigned to open the Greenvale Reservoir Park, which will finally be opened next week. Merry Christmas to all.
