MORRIS (Mornington) (17:10:55): I should indicate at the outset that I only intend to speak for a very brief period on this bill. It is a fairly straightforward bill. In fact it is pretty much a stock standard revocation bill. We seem to have one or more of these at least every year. In this case it is to revoke permanent reservations on land in the Frankston area, in the Camberwell area, at Rippleside in
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (19:11:02): (1219) I raise a matter this evening for the Treasurer. I ask the Treasurer to provide an amount of $6 million in the 2020–21 budget to permit the construction of stage 1 of the Mornington community safety link. The safety link is the logical extension of the Peninsula Link Trail, which currently terminates at Moorooduc station. It is a shovel-ready project. It will link Moorooduc station with Mornington and lead on
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (11:35:08): My question is for the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. Last sitting week the minister confirmed that a $10 million loan had been made to the SKM receivers. Last week scores of trucks were taking recyclables from SKM to the Ravenhall landfill. Minister, how much of this $10 million is being spent dumping recyclables into landfill? Ms D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park—Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Minister for Solar Homes) (11:35:43):
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (12:29:00): I am pleased to join this debate on the Marine and Fisheries Legislation Amendment Bill 2019, and I want to come back to the point that was taken up in the point of order a couple of minutes ago. Despite the government’s speaking notes, the fact is that the Fisheries Act 1995 provides that expert advice should be made available. The information backing up the valuer-general’s valuation of the gear in particular has
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (17:18:49): I am pleased to join this debate on the Dangerous Goods Amendment (Penalty Reform) Bill 2019, which, as the title suggests, is about increasing the penalties on a range of offences and creating a new offence of reckless conduct in respect of dangerous goods. I think it was interesting listening to the member for Footscray. You get a sense of the impact of each of these incidents on the affected communities, and
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (12:21:30): My question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. Last sitting week the minister confirmed that a $10 million loan had been extended to the SKM receivers to clear out the accumulated recyclables at four company facilities. The minister said, and I quote, ‘our priority is to get those dangerous stockpiles cleared up’. Minister, why are the stockpiles at these four SKM facilities more dangerous than those at other
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (09:46:10): Last night during the adjournment debate I called on the Minister for Public Transport to meet with the three peninsula MPs in this house and Mornington Peninsula shire councillors in a bid to get the government to finally do something about local public transport. This morning I tabled a petition bearing 472 signatures calling for improved bus services in the Mornington North Bungower Road precinct. The area is home to two
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) I raise a matter this evening for the Minister for Public Transport. The request that I make of the minister is that she arrange an urgent meeting with the councillors of the Mornington Peninsula shire and the local lower house members of Parliament, the members of Parliament for Mornington, Nepean and Hastings. I have repeatedly raised in this house the concerns that I have about public transport on the peninsula. The only
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (16:23:22): I am delighted to join this debate on the Renewable Energy (Jobs and Investment) Amendment Bill 2019, a three-page bill to amend a 10-page act. The current act passed the Parliament in December 2017, and that established the renewable energy targets that we already have in place: the 25 per cent for 2020 and 40 per cent for 2025. This bill will extend that target to 50 per cent by 2030.
The SPEAKER: Order! When the house comes to order—with the assistance of the Premier. Order! Mr MORRIS: Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. At a meeting in February 2018 SKM pleaded with the minister for safeand temporary storage of recycling material. Why didn’t the minister act on this plea 18 months ago? Ms D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park—Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Minister for Solar Homes) (12:14):
