Premier, when will the construction start?
Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) (11:21:33): Ms Onus of the Djab Wurrung protesters on the Western Highway at Buangor has said: This fight with Djab Wurrung will destroy the romance of the Labor government’s strive for treaty.

Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) (11:49:04): (1064) My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport, and it is on behalf of the residents of Echuca.

Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) (13:25:56): Last week we sadly lost a true-blue, great Australian with the passing of Tim Fischer, AC. Tim was a big personality with a big hat and an even bigger heart.

MR WALSH (Murray Plains) (11:17:07): After receiving the $400 000 from the Victorian government on 1 August 2018, Steelvision then paid its $135 000 payroll tax bill to the State Revenue Office on 12 September 2018.

The former minister for innovation Philip Dalidakis was a champion of Victoria’s forest industries having previously worked for the Victorian Association of Forest Industries. Was Mr Dalidakis supportive of the Andrews government’s policy to…
19 June 2019 : Mr Walsh Speaker Philip Dalidakis publicly slighted the Premier by going to the Governor before informing him of his resignation. How can Victorians have confidence in the Premier’s support for the 22 000 jobs in the forest industry when obviously Mr Dalidakis has clearly lost faith in the Premier’s leadership?
