Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (10:07): Happy Education Week, everyone. It was great to see the Minister for Education at the table there before. I was very excited to see her; she is a great minister. I just want to put my appreciation out there for all teachers in Victoria, indeed the nation, but especially in my community of Frankston, a community that I have taught in as a teacher myself. I see so much change happening based on the teaching practices and the culture in those schools, and that might not be just in the education outcomes; often it is in community outcomes with families and the school community as well. It is something that we celebrate in Frankston. We are #TheEducationElectorate – no-one steal that; that is ours. I think our teachers do an amazing job. I am basically a fixture in almost every school in Frankston. I am on a few school councils as well because it is something that truly changes communities, changes states and changes nations.
