17 August 2016 Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – I am glad that the Leader of the House has finally put the government’s reasons on the table because the member for Williamstown in moving the motion acted like it was a hot potato he had been handed by the Leader of the House. He was standing there shaking.…
16 August 2016 My constituency question is to the Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence.

Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – I rise to make a contribution on the motion. When you look at the report that we are actually talking about it talks about how the minority report should be read in conjunction with the majority report.

25 May 2016 Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – I rise to speak on behalf of the Liberal-Nationals coalition opposition on the Livestock Disease Control Amendment Bill 2016.

24 May 2016 Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – On behalf of The Nationals I speak in support of today’s apology. As we are all acutely aware prior to 1981 Victoria had laws which made homosexuality a criminal offence and this included draconian penalties of jail terms. There were people convicted under these misguided laws and there were…
4 May 2016 Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – It is a pleasure to join the debate and to support the member for Gembrook in his matter of public importance (MPI) before the house. I put on the record what a great job he is doing as the Shadow Minister for Emergency Services. He is actually continuing the…
