Hunters for the Hungry

Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (12:21): (689) My question is for the minister representing the Minister for Agriculture. Last year this house passed a motion to help end hunger for vulnerable homeless Victorians, being Hunters for the Hungry. To date this seems to have stalled despite the house’s support. My question is: what is the hold-up?

Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Attorney-General, Minister for Emergency Services) (12:22): I thank Mr Bourman for his question for Minister Spence, and I will get an answer in accordance with the standing orders.

Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (12:22): I thank the Attorney-General for her passing on the question. My supplementary is: the game meat barbecue will be held here on 14 November; will the minister make a public statement of support for the Hunters for the Hungry on that date?

Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Attorney-General, Minister for Emergency Services) (12:22): You can probably just go and ask her, but I will pass the message through the chamber to her chamber and back to you.
