North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:44): My constituency question is for the Deputy Premier and Minister for Education in the other place. Minister, how many students in the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region will benefit from the $21.1 million investment to expand the school breakfast club program in the 2024–25 Victorian budget? Recently the Allan Labor government celebrated a major milestone with the 50 millionth meal delivered across Victoria since the program started in 2016. The Allan Labor government has invested $141.2 million in the school breakfast club program since it began, with $69.5 million provided in the 2023–24 Victorian state budget. This makes sure that every student can have a nutritious meal before school, which ensures kids can focus inside the classroom and achieve their goals.
