 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:42): My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Education in the other place Minister Carroll. Victoria is the Education State, and nobody understands that better than this Allan Labor government, which has invested in our public schools and students. We have a proud record of opening over 100 schools in 10 years across this state, ensuring students have the facilities and the resources they need for a good education, because on this side of the chamber we believe everyone deserves a fair go and a good education, no matter their background and no matter their postcode. As a member for Southern Metro I have been proud to see this Labor government invest in uplifting facilities in my local community. My question to the minister is: how much has the Allan Labor government invested in upgrading public school facilities in my community of Southern Metro?
