Speech- Victorian Law Reform Commission Amendment Bill 2020
It’s my pleasure to speak on the Victorian Law Reform Commission Amendment Bill 2020. First of all, I’d like to commend and congratulate Mr Grimley on introducing the Bill – a Bill that goes to the heart of something that’s been a feature of a number of recent debates in this place. And that’s the value that we should all place on ensuring that the views of the community at large are adequately and appropriately reflected when laws are made and enforced in this State. The core principle to which this piece of legislation gives expression is the goal of more broadly liberating law reform in Victoria.
Constituency question- Malmsbury detainees’ internet access

Members Statement- Local Government and COVID-19 response
The response of local government across my electorate to respond to the myriad of stresses and needs of their residents has been dynamic and with a huge heart. They have pivoted to the needs of their residents, ramped up services, created new service where there were gaps, providing financial and emotional support. This will need to continue through the response and recovery phases and I thank them for their diligence and commitment.
