Matter of Public Importance - Government Performance

I rise, and, look, I am a bit disappointed that the member for Ovens Valley has not stayed in the chamber, because I reckon you can get a good latte in the Ovens Valley – is it Bright, I think? Last time I was in Bright I reckon you could...

Members statement: Duck Hunting Season 2023

An overwhelming majority of Victorians want to see duck shooting outlawed. A member: Boo. That’s right – boo to duck shooting; I concur with the member below me. More than two-thirds of Victorians agree the duck shooting should be banned. It is a practice that has no place in Victoria....

Grievance debate: Cost of living

 I rise to speak on the grievance debate today, and I want to grieve for those Victorians who are struggling with the cost of living—Victorians who are being pushed to the margins and Victorians who are being pushed, essentially, off the metaphorical cliff.

Members statements: Prahran electorate

It is an absolute privilege to serve as the member for Prahran, as our local member of Parliament. I love Prahran. It is a thriving, vibrant, diverse community, with Chapel Street as its social and economic heart. It has been my home for well over a decade, from when I...

Question without Notice: South Yarra public housing

Mr HIBBINS: My question is for the Minister for Housing. Minister, Azra has lived in South Yarra’s public housing towers for 17 years. In that time her home has never been upgraded. She is forced to stuff old newspapers to fill gaps in the windows to keep the cold out,...
