Point Cook electorate
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (14:42): (205) My constituency question is for the Minister for Police, and my question is: how are you keeping the community that I represent, the electorate of Point Cook, safe? We know that on this side of the house we are committed to continuing to provide record investments in Victoria Police, $4.5 billion at last count, to ensure that they have the resources, the powers, the technologies and the modern fit-for-purpose facilities that they need to keep our community safe. One of those announcements most recently was at the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee, where the minister announced $19.8 million towards delivering a new contemporary and fit-for-purpose police station in Point Cook. We have already bought the land in Point Cook, and now we are getting on with the job of building that much-needed community facility. It is very clear that only a Labor state government will deliver this facility in the community that I represent.
