01.01.2022 The Morrison Government is providing further protection for threatened species with a $6.78 million expansion of Australia’s network of environmental safe havens. Safe havens are fenced areas and islands where invasive species like feral cats, foxes and other predators are permanently removed to provide long-term protection for native animals. This is a great initiative. Well done to the Environment Minister Sussan Ley MP for your leadership on this.

01.01.2022 Teachers and school leaders play a critical role in the lives of our kids and this has never been more evident than this year. Teachers and school leaders have a challenging job at the best of times, but the ongoing risks and challenges posed by COVID-19 are exceptional and I continue to be impressed by how all Victorian teachers are responding. Teachers have continued to support our students throughout this pandemic, and we owe them a great deal of gratitude for their work.... On World Teachers’ Day we pay tribute to every teacher and the hard work and passion they continue to bring to their important job. THANK YOU.
