Hansard debates

Mrs McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (12:24): My question is to the Minister for Small Business. Minister, Haymes Paint is a Ballarat success story, with 130 years of manufacturing pedigree and a history of innovation and investment. They provide a livelihood for 340 local families and remain proudly Victorian based and Australian owned. Are you aware the Premier’s recent lockdown, thanks to 13 cases in six local government areas in metropolitan Melbourne, cost this iconic regional Ballarat business—based close to your office, actually—over half a million dollars?
