Werribee by-election
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (09:55): I have had a fantastic opportunity to spend a whole bunch of time with another fantastic teacher out my way in the west, our candidate for the Werribee by-election John Lister. John is a local teacher out in Melbourne’s west teaching year 10 students at Wyndham Central College. It is a cruel joke that those opposite want to now pretend that they care about the people of Werribee. Last time they had the chance to govern, do you know how much they invested into Werribee? Not one red cent – not one new school, not one school upgrade, not one upgraded road. In fact they care so much about Werribee that they have preselected a real estate agent from Essendon who lives closer to the Deputy Premier than he does to the people of Werribee. It is a cruel joke. This Saturday the people of Werribee have a choice between a real estate agent from Essendon and a local schoolteacher. I trust they will make the right one.
