 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:09): In uncertain economic times this Labor government is doing what it can to support Victorians doing it tough. We have already got free public transport for the entire month of April, and just this morning it was announced that we are immediately boosting funding for food relief charities to help Victorians who are doing it tough. This includes organisations such as Foodbank Victoria, SecondBite, FareShare, OzHarvest, seven regional food shares through the Regional Food Security Alliance, Sikh Volunteers Australia, the Victorian Sikh Gurduaras Council, the Gurduara Council of Victoria, Australian Sikh Support and Community Information and Support Victoria. We will continue to do what we can to support Victorians at this time.
