 Darren CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (17:21): (787) My adjournment this evening is to the Minister for Education, and the action that I seek from him is that he engage in consultation with Geelong’s traditional owners, the Wathaurong people, to identify two Indigenous names for the two new schools that the Allan Labor government is building in the Armstrong Creek growth corridor. This approach that has been traditionally adopted by this government in utilising traditional owner group names promotes harmony and reconciliation, and I think it is a fantastic opportunity to engage with them with respect to identifying appropriate names for the Charlemont and Warralily primary schools that will be built in the years to come.
