Climate change
John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (19:19): (208) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Climate Action, and the action I seek is for the minister to visit the Glen Waverley district to see the wonderful activity currently being undertaken by my community to alleviate climate change. My electorate has embraced clean energy, most notably through the installing of solar panels on their homes and businesses through the Solar Victoria program. Around 3600 residents in the Glen Waverley district have claimed rebates through the program. It is great to see my constituents taking the initiative to install solar panels on their homes. We know that Victorians want to do their bit to reduce the impacts of climate change and to save money for their household budgets. Our Solar Homes program has helped save households an average of $1073 per year. From Vermont to Wheelers Hill, constituents in my district are embracing action on climate change. We all know that climate change is real and a serious threat and that we must all do our part to alleviate the effects, especially for our future generations. I would like to thank the minister and her team for all the hard work they do in making sure our government addresses climate change. Thanks to their work, Victoria is leading the nation in taking action on climate change. I hope the minister will visit our electorate to see how we are implementing climate-friendly initiatives, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
