Responses

Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, Minister for Employment) (19:22): The member for Eildon called on the Minister for Health to inform her about hospital development in her electorate. The member for Bass called on the Deputy Premier, and the action that the member sought was to join with school principals at a round table in the electorate to discuss explicit learning, which will be great. The member for Shepparton had an action for the Treasurer, which is to provide information regarding increases in land tax, which is a concern in her community. The member for Geelong – it is going to be a busy week for the Minister for Education – also sought for the Minister for Education to join in a visit to Geelong with principals to talk about phonics.

The member for Polwarth had a matter for the minister for transport, and the action that he sought was to review public transport bus numbers and routes in Torquay and the Jan Juc area. The member for Kororoit had an adjournment matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the request was for the action of investigating temporary signalling over a stretch of the Western Freeway. The member for Melbourne had a matter for the Premier to action, which was to fast-track flood mitigation responses for the Kensington area. The member for Narre Warren South had a matter for the Minister for Education, which was an update on the new primary school and how that will support local families in his electorate.

The member for Morwell had an adjournment matter for the Minister for Health, and the action he sought was to take urgent action regarding the waiting list in his area, especially for cataract surgery. The member for Glen Waverley had an action for the Minister for Community Sport, which was to visit local sports facilities that have received funding in the recent budget, which he wants to talk about and celebrate. I will ensure that all these are referred to the ministers, and I am sure that they will take action as is appropriate.
