My question (on behalf of a constituent) is to the Treasurer. Recently, the Education Minister announced that teachers will be offered incentives of up to $50,000 to re-locate to regional schools – including, I assume, to any school in the Northern Victoria electorate. I ask the Treasurer to clarify if similar incentives will also be made available to workers in other sectors (and, if so, which sectors) who may be interested in re-locating specifically to the Northern Victoria region, given the widespread difficulty across many fields in attracting employees to our electorate. If that will not be the case, can he please explain why it has been decided that it will only be to the education sector that these re-location incentives will be made available?
