14.01.2022 $45million to increase our electric charging infrastructure across Victoria. The Victorian Government continues to invest at record levels in our road network and by introducing a distance based charge for zero and low emission light vehicles we can continue that investment, while also addressing barriers to take up of electric vehicles. The Government will continue to promote the take-up of these vehicles by ensuring they pay less than conventional petrol and diesel vehicles.

12.01.2022 I always think teachers do an amazing job (I do live with one), but this year they have been more than incredible. Thank you to every teacher who has worked so hard to make on line learning interesting for their students, who have gone out of their comfort zone and made videos, who have delivered packages and snacks, who have strengthened their school community, who have worked well into the night (and sometimes the early morning) to get their heads around online techniques. Thank you to teachers who have done all they could for our kids this year. We are so very, very grateful. (And thank you to the parents who have been on this learning journey this year, adapting as best you can to online learning.)

If you would like a copy of the Minister's response once Inhave received it, please DM me with your email address and postcode.
