My constituency question is to the Minister for Regional Development – and is about the wellbeing of the people of the town of Tongala, in my electorate.

Leading Senior Sergeant Paula Allen, youth resource officer with Benalla Police, has been named the Blue Ribbon Foundation Police Officer of the year for 2019.

My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Mental Health. It relates to the release in March 2019 of the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO) report Access to Mental Health Services.

My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Corrections. It follows the recent release of the latest Drugs in Victorian Prisons report.I therefore seek from the Minister is that he clarify how the government has established the benchmark for the levels of drugs and contraband use that are stipulated in the drugs in prisons report and why it should apparently be regarded as acceptable that there should be any drugs or contraband items allowed in the state’s prisons at all.

My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Ms Symes. As one of her fellow members for Northern Victoria Region, I commend her for her decision to expedite a visit to the Millewa region last week to inspect the effects of the crippling, successive droughts there. I ask the minister if she could provide me with a clarification on how much money is still available to assist those farmers in the Millewa region?
