Yearly Archives: 2020

My question, to the Consumer Affairs Minister, relates to a Benalla landlord who is losing tens of thousands of dollars because of the changed renting laws during the COVID period.

My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Corrections. On 16 September, in this Parliament, I aired a series of revelations about the (scandalous) situation at the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre that high-speed internet access had become frequently and widely available to detainees. Among many other consequences, this had, disgracefully, allowed dozens of detainees to regularly download and view pornographic material, including on their expensive, personal, taxpayer-funded laptops.

My matter is for the Minister for Sport. It’s about the interaction of the Government’s COVID-19 reopening roadmap with the activities of sporting clubs in regional Victoria.

I ask the Minsiter for Mental Health what actions is the Government taking to address each of the six key mental health priorities listed on page 10 of Mitchell Shire Council’s official advocacy document for 2020?

The action I seek from the Minister for Health is an outline of the Government’s current plans for establishing (and/or providing additional funding for) more drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities and services, including in a number of parts of my electorate of Northern Victoria.
