Colin BROOKS (Bundoora – Minister for Development Victoria, Minister for Precincts, Minister for Creative Industries) (19:23): The member for South-West Coast raised a matter for the Minister for Police to visit families and police in her community who are dealing with the issue of family violence, and I will make sure that matter is passed on to the minister. The member for Bayswater raised a matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety asking that the minister join him at the redeveloped Alchester Village intersection in Boronia. That will be passed on. The member for Gippsland East raised a matter for the Minister for Emergency Services to write to the federal communications minister to ensure that there is no diminished emergency service coverage in the transition to 4G technology, as I understand the issue that was put forward. The member for Wendouree raised a matter for the Minister for Education that the minister visit to celebrate the practical completion of construction of the Ballarat Specialist School, which sounds like it does fantastic work in the Ballarat community and will continue to do so after a $10 million upgrade.

The member for Mornington raised a matter for the Minister for Public and Active Transport which sought an update on proposed bus route changes in his electorate and in his contribution outlined a number of those proposed changes, and I will ensure that that matter gets passed on to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. The member for Clarinda raised a matter for the Minister for Children asking that the minister join him at the Springvalley preschool in Springvale, and it sounds like they have had some wonderful upgrades there, $120,000 worth of improvements. That is a wonderful story. The member for Ovens Valley raised a matter for the minister for roads to get some assistance, as I understand it, for VicRoads to assist Mr Dayman to obtain import permits for his vehicle.

The member for Yan Yean raised a matter for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure to visit Wallan at the site of the Wallan ramps at Watson Street, which is an important project in that local community. The member for Caulfield raised a matter for the Premier in which he sought the Premier to work with Victoria Police, the opposition and the Parliament I think to ensure the safety of all people in the parliamentary precinct. The member for Pakenham raised a matter for the Minister for Community Sport to visit the James Bathe reserve. It sounds like a wonderful sporting precinct, and I will ensure that matter is passed on to the minister.
