Peninsula Film Festival

Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (09:53): I would just like to update the house on a few events and visits I have been able to make during the parliamentary break. I was able to attend Victoria’s biggest film festival, the Peninsula Film Festival, as it continues to grow year on year – I think it will be 15 years next year. It was over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, and I was thrilled to be able to attend the Saturday night and officially open the event. There was a massive crowd, as I said – thousands of people, volunteers, sponsors and collaborators. Rosebud Rotary, Searoad Ferries and Beyond Blue were all there, amongst many, many others. It is just fantastic that the Victorian government is able to contribute to this event, which means so much not only to the region but to Victoria.
