Mount Beauty Secondary College
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (15:59): Like most MPs I had a busy Australia Day schedule. Mount Beauty was my first port of call, and after a fantastic ceremony I discovered via some locals that the drinking water at Mount Beauty Secondary College is atrocious. Apparently the maintenance staff need to run the water for an hour prior to the school beginning to remove the stained water before it is acceptable to drink. I will be writing to the Minister for Education to seek funding for a suitable filtering system. Some of the most pristine water in the world begins in beautiful townships like Mount Beauty; I think it is only fair that our students get to sample the best and purest water available to them.
