Statement- Condolence Motion
I would like to send my sincere condolences to the families of the four serving Victoria Police members who tragically lost their lives in the horrific accident on the Eastern Freeway. To all members of Victoria Police, I thank you for your courage, strength and determination to do your job each, and every, day. You are extremely valuable members of our society who protect us each and every day as you selflessly attend your job to keep us safe.
Member’s Statement- Student disengagement during Covid-19 pandemic
During the current pandemic, there has been an overwhelming focus on whether schools should physically remain open or not. I am therefore concerned that a number of important, underlying problems in education policy are potentially being overlooked. One of those is the need to mitigate the substantially elevated risk of student disengagement in these changed circumstances for teaching and learning.
Constituency question- Recently released sex offender
My constituency question is for the Attorney-General. It follows numerous concerns raised with me by constituents in Beechworth about the whereabouts of a recently-released sex offender. I ask the Attorney-General to clarify under what circumstances or conditions someone previously convicted of sexually assaulting 16 young boys would be free to live within close proximity of a school, to change their name and to work where children are present?
