  • Liberal Nationals Released a Plan
    COVID-19 RESPONSE May 2020 michaelobrien.com.au COVID-19 RESPONSE Dear fellow Victorians, By working with the State and Federal Governments, we have all achieved an extraordinary outcome in supressing COVID-19 that makes Victoria – and Australia - the envy of the world. We appreciate everyone who has contributed to this achievement, especially our essential workers. You have our sincere thanks. This achievement, however, has come at a significant cost to our local economy, our community and to our way of life. With COVID-19 now apparently under a measure of control, it is urgent that the Andrews Labor Government puts in place a clear plan that enables us to take back our Michael O’Brien MP lives and rebuild our local communities. Liberal Leader Many hard lessons have been learnt from the virus outbreak; we now need to take action to deal with these shortcomings, such as our relative lack of local manufacturing capacity. The Liberals and Nationals have worked constructively during the virus pandemic to provide positive suggestions, and to hold the Andrews Government to account for its actions. In that same constructive manner we have prepared this Plan: our positive suggestions about what we believe should be the key priorities for the Government in the recovery phase. This is not a plan for the next election; Victorians can’t afford to wait that long. This is our Plan for immediate action by the Andrews Labor Government so that Victoria can rebuild from the damage done by COVID-19 to our jobs, our communities and our lives. These suggestions are necessarily bold and ambitious, because we don’t believe that business as usual is going to be enough to secure our recovery.

  • Liberals Will Put Women's and Children's
    Wednesday, 24 October 2018 LIBERALS WILL PUT WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S LIVES AT RISK The Liberal Party has today confirmed it will not commit to implementing all 227 recommendations of the Royal Commission into Family Violence if elected in November. At the Unite Against Family Violence Forum in Melbourne today, Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence Georgie Crozier was asked whether a Coalition Government would implement all 227 recommendations. Ms Crozier refused to provide that guarantee, saying they needed to “look at the details,” despite the Royal Commission’s report being released more than two years ago. The admission comes just days after Ms Crozier said the Liberals would consider the “financial impost” of these lifesaving recommendations. It beggars belief that anyone could say that protecting women and children from harm is a financial impost. Matthew Guy must immediately explain why his party has walked away from the recommendations – developed by experts after thousands of victim survivors of family violence shared their experiences with the inquiry. Will they cut women’s refuges and other crisis accommodation services? Will they take the axe to new support and safety hubs, men’s behavioural change programs or children’s counselling services? The Andrews Labor Government is implementing every recommendation of the Royal Commission and has invested a record $2.6 billion in family violence services – more than every other state and territory in Australia. Quotes attributable to Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence Natalie Hutchins “The Liberals need to stop playing games with people’s safety and commit to implementing every recommendation of this landmark commission.” “We are implementing every recommendation of the Royal Commission, because every recommendation is essential to ending family violence – you can’t pick and choose.” Media contact: Emma Webster 0428 171 119 | [email protected] .

  • ELLEN SANDELL Ellen Sandell for MELBOURNE for Melbourne CLEAN ECONOMY | FAIR SOCIETY
    VOTE 1 ELLEN SANDELL ELLEN SANDELL FOR MELBOURNE FOR MELBOURNE CLEAN ECONOMY | FAIR SOCIETY THE GREENS’ PlAN FOR A BETTER, MORE LIVEABLE INNER-CITY The Melbourne electorate has Victoria’s highest proportion of flat and apartment dwellings (80.9%) and the state’s lowest proportion of households with two or more vehicles (16.2%). Apartment dwelling is becoming a way of life in Melbourne, but approval of poor quality, high density homes without consultation is threatening the quality of inner-city life. THE GREENS HAVE A PLAN FOR BETTER-QUALITY INNER-CITY HOMES. 1. Reinstate notice and appeal rights in the Capital City Zone Unlike other municipalities, planning applications in the Capital City Zone (CCZ) are exempt from notice and review provisions. This means that where buildings are proposed to be demolished or constructed, owners or occupiers of neighbouring properties are not even required to be told of the proposal, and are not allowed input into the decision-making process. Residents in the CCZ, including body corporates and residents groups, have long called for the reinstatement of basic planning rights, and Greens on council have fought to reinstate planning rights in the central city for many years. 2. Remove the Planning Minister’s power over city tower approvals Under the old parties, planning ministers have been given successively greater powers to ride roughshod over local governments and community groups. Currently the Minister is the responsible authority for planning applications involving buildings with a proposed floor area of 25,000sqm. These fast and loose laws have let Planning Ministers like Matthew Guy approve poorly planned developments with no consultation.

  • Local Suppliers Do Not Have Capacity Or There Are No Local Suppliers of Specific Items
    11/14/2018 Liberal Nationals to boost Victoria’s renewable local content requirements | Liberal Victoria News Media Releases News About Us Our Team Get Involved Contact JOI N U S LIBERAL NATIONALS TO BOOST VICTORIA’S RENEWABLE LOCAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS Wednesday, 29 August 2018 Under a Liberal Nationals Government major renewable energy projects will have to meet increased local content requirements. The Liberal Nationals believe renewable energy is the future but it needs to be done right. That’s why a Liberal Nationals Government will require that renewable energy projects over $50 million use 75% local Victorian content. This Victorian content will include materials, supplies and labour. Projects over $50 million that do not meet this 75% requirement will only have their planning applications approved if they can prove local suppliers do not have capacity or there are no local suppliers of specific items. Victoria’s renewable industry has the potential to be a major provider of new jobs which is why we need to ensure we have strong local content requirements to help build the local industry. The Andrews Labor Government does not have effective local content requirements which have seen regional Victorian businesses and workers missing out on the benefits of this growing industry. A strong 75% local content requirement will provide certainty and stability to Victoria’s renewable industry and help position our state as a centre for renewable technology manufacturing and development. The Liberal Nationals are committed to creating good and exciting new jobs for regional Victorians. Comments attributable to Leader of the Opposition, Matthew Guy: “If we do renewables right, it can mean cheaper energy and great jobs for regional Victoria.
