Gambling Taxation Bill 2023

I rise to speak on behalf of the Greens on the Gambling Taxation Bill 2023. This bill, among other things, responds to the Royal Commission into the Crown Casino Operator and Licence. Certainly the changes in relation to regulation there make sense to us. The bill also raises the rate of...

Constituency Question - EV Chargers in Prahran

Racial and Religious Tolerance Amendment (Anti-Vilification) Bill 2023

Members Statement- Rental Support

We need to freeze rents for people in Prahran. The rental crisis is out of control. Rents have already risen by around 20 per cent and are forecast to rise even further this year, adding to the skyrocketing cost of living. There is a massive lack of affordable rental properties right...

My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport, and I ask: when is the government going to install a second entrance on the citybound platform at Windsor station that connects to Windsor Siding park?
