Hansard debates

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:16): Firstly, I would like to thank my wonderful family for all of their support over the last few years: my wife Etsuko and my three sons Sen, Kai and Nao. Politics is very hard on families, as everyone here would know. I am ...

... David LIMBRICK: I actually have similar feelings to Dr Mansfield on this. I do think that there is reform needed in this area, and I think that this is a very complex area. I am concerned – and I thank Mr Mulholland for bringing this amendment and this issue up – but I feel that the way that ...

... David LIMBRICK: I note the government’s comments on this. I am a bit perplexed by Mr Mulholland’s insistence that this is something very important. If it was very important, then maybe I would have gotten a briefing on it from the opposition rather than being briefed by the government on the opposition’s amendment. As it so ...

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (17:47): (2842) My adjournment is for the attention of the Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC, and the action I seek is that the government commission an independent investigation into WorkSafe Victoria and the WorkCover scheme, including claims handling by agents, following multiple reports from ...

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (15:41): I am going to keep this brief and straight to the point. This Parliament makes the laws of the state, and the Parliament itself has its own rules in the standing orders. I think that if we are going to be making the rules of the ...

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (16:37): I will also say a few words on this motion put forward by Mrs Deeming. I will start by saying, as Ms Terpstra and others pointed out, that of course I do not think that anyone in this chamber wants children to be involved in sex work or ...

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (20:42): (2839) My adjournment is for the attention of the Minister for Health. There are many issues that are brought up in this place, from lighting in car parks to tax policy and the way our justice system works. Sometimes the issues we tackle are ...

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:50): I also would like to speak in support of this condolence motion remembering Dr Tim Read.
