Indian community

Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (09:46): While we are talking about this, it appears that after 25 years in Parliament Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has discovered that Victoria has an Indian community. Maybe it is because Labor is polling just 30 per cent in the polls. Premier Jacinta Allan has never once raised in this Parliament Indian issues, such as visas being rejected by the federal Labor government for Indian families wanting to come here for funerals. Not once has a Labor MP raised the issue of the many, many, many millions of dollars in promises made by Daniel Andrews and his government to temples, to community centres and to aged care facilities that have almost all gone undelivered. Maybe when the Premier returns from India and goes to the Blackburn Sikh temple she can explain why they have not been delivered.
