STATE OF EMERGENCY EXTENSION AND OTHER MATTERS
SPEECH - 04 September 2020: Mr BURGESS
(Hastings) (12:36):
It is a pleasure to stand to talk about this bill, but not necessarily a pleasure that this bill is in the house. It is good to have the opportunity to put the record straight in a number of ways and speak on behalf of the people that are suffering because of the way this government has handled both the crisis that our state faces but also the way any criticism comes to it—how it avoids scrutiny, how it just does anything that helps the Labor Party or any of its union mates but avoids helping any of the businesses in reality and avoids helping the people that really most need its help.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLBEING AMENDMENT (STATE OF EMERGENCY EXTENSION AND OTHER MATTERS) BILL 2020
HANSARD: Mr BURGESS (Hastings) (12:36): It is a pleasure to stand to talk about this bill, but not necessarily a pleasure that this bill is in the house.
AGL CRIB POINT GAS TERMINAL
HANSARD: Mr BURGESS (Hastings) – AGL CRIB POINT GAS TERMINAL
The planning minister’s decision to not suspend the EES consultation process for AGL’s Crib Point gas import facility was extremely disappointing.
Covid-19. Workplace accident
HANSARD: Mr BURGESS (Hastings) – COVID19
What is the world coming to when a mother cannot visit her 20-year-old injured son who is currently in a coma in the ICU of the Alfred hospital after sustaining an horrific workplace accident?
Covid-19. Sole traders
HANSARD: Mr BURGESS (Hastings) – COVID19
I am still hearing that sole traders are still being denied assistance through Business Victoria’s Business Support Fund.
Victoria Police
HANSARD: Mr BURGESS (Hastings) – VICTORIA POLICE
I was shocked to see footage on Wednesday of a pregnant Ballarat mother being handcuffed by police for organising an anti-lockdown protest through her comments on Facebook.
