annual report of the Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and

“post-natally”;

chance of survival which increases sharply with each further week of gestation to, at

announcement about, amongst other things, new wire-rope barriers on the Princes
Freeway;

barriers would not be erected in the median strip but rather along the road side to stop
run-off-road crashes;
(3) this advice was wrong and was later corrected by VicRoads;
(4) neither the Member for Gembrook nor the Member for Narre Warren South corrected
the Minister on this basic and fundamental factual error;
(5) the Minister for Roads and Ports, the Member for Gembrook and the Member for Narre
Warren South are so out of touch with their portfolios and communities that they make
announcements without knowing what they are announcing;

photo opportunities and media events, that they don’t know or care what they are even
announcing; and

tracked the development of an Aldi supermarket on the corner of the Doncaster Road

Boroondara shows that the Minister had himself delayed dealing with these planning
matters for nine months and ignored requests from the City of Boroondara;
(2) notes the failure of a ‘media advisor or spokesman’ to answer genuine questions put to
Mr Madden by a Progress Leader journalist; and
(3) calls on the Minister to explain the reason his office delayed responding to the City of

That this House notes that —
(1) the Premier has recently completed a huge back flip from opposing to supporting the

12
Legislative Council Notice Paper No. 178
(2)
this back flip is just the latest in a long line of back downs and policy position changes
from the Government which has included the adoption of over 60 policies advocated by
the Opposition;
(3) these back flips include but are not limited to —
(a) promising to not take water from north of the divide for Melbourne and then
building the north south pipeline;
(b) describing desalination as a "hoax" and "extraordinarily expensive", only to later
announce the Wonthaggi desalination plant;
(c) denigrating the Coalition plan to abolish suspended sentences as costing
"hundreds of millions of dollars", only to later adopt the same policy;
(d) promising to build the Scoresby Freeway without tolls, only then to build the
"freeway" as a "toll way";
(e) criticising privatisation of the public transport system from Opposition, only to
retain privatisation once in Government;
(f)
copying the Opposition position on anti-hoon laws; and
(g) copying the Opposition policy to eliminate Zone 3 on public transport; and
(4) these back flips by the Premier demonstrate that the Government is tired, out of touch
and bereft of ideas and solutions to solve the problems that Victoria is facing, unlike the
Opposition which has a clear vision for Victoria and the challenges it must confront.

3
MR VINEY — To move —
That Mr Barber, Mr Guy, Mr Hall and Mr Rich-Phillips step down from the Standing
Committee on Finance and Public Administration’s Inquiry into Victorian Government
Decision Making, Consultation and Approval Processes because they have pre-judged the
14
Legislative Council Notice Paper No. 178
outcome of the inquiry as evidenced by their contributions in debate in the House on 10
March 2010 and their subsequent vote on the want of confidence motion in the Minister for
Planning.
[Notice given on 23 March 2010 — Listed for 18 days].
4
MR VINEY — To move —
That this House rejects the Opposition’s cowardly allegation made under parliamentary

“Madden in Conflict of Interest Planning Scandal”;

their integrity into question.
[Notice given on 15 April 2010 — Listed for 13 days].

resulted in the creation of wind farms with the capacity to power over 700,000 Victorian
homes;

emissions, the equivalent of taking 94,000 cars off the State’s roads each year;
(3) expresses concern and alarm at the Liberal/National Coalition policy that will see an
end to wind farm development in Victoria and which —
(a) will send Victorian jobs interstate;
(b) was developed without industry consultation;

planning processes; and
(d) hands planning approval over to local councils when many councils ask the State

resources and expertise to evaluate wind farm proposals; and
28 July 2010
15
(4)
condemns the Liberal/National Coalition for a policy which reveals that they are climate
change sceptics who don't care about the environment.

9
MS PULFORD — To move —
That this House expresses its grave concern that the Liberal Party and The Nationals are
misleading Victoria’s regional and rural communities and notes that —
(1) The Nationals have an established track record of failing to stand up to the Liberal
Party when in government, rather than doing what is best for regional and rural
Victoria;
(2) when last in government, the Coalition closed 178 schools, 12 hospitals and 6 rail lines
in country Victoria and presided over unemployment in excess of 12 per cent;
(3) a $1 billion headline on a media release is no substitute for detailed policy work in
building strong, vibrants and liveable Victorian towns;
(4) the $1 billion over 8 years in the Liberal/National Growth Fund will rapidly evaporate
when allocated to delivering essential government services in health, early childhood
and road projects;
(5) prosperity and growth for regional Victoria is best achieved through proper planning
and in partnership with communities and not through a slush fund approach resulting in
actual cuts to the level of government investment in Victoria’s regional communities;
and
(6) these actions of the Liberal/National Coalition put the economic and social wellbeing of
Victorian communities at risk.
[Notice given on 8 June 2010 — Listed for 7 days].

(2) the Federal Government’s recent achievement in legislating for paid maternity leave;
(3) that under the Howard Government the gap between male and female earnings
increased;

conditions of Victoria’s casual and part time workforce;
(5) the Brumby Government’s recent commitment to provide pay justice to Victoria’s
predominantly female social and community sector workforce;
(6) that the next Equal Pay Day is on Tuesday, 12 April 2011 and symbolises how far into
2011 women must work to earn what men earned in 2010;

17
MS HUPPERT — To move —

agreement between the Government and the Opposition to adjourn Mr Barber’s motion to
establish a Select Committee of 7 Members to be appointed to inquire into Amendment VC67
to the Victoria Planning Provisions, that would enable the parties to negotiate an agreement
on this vital issue for Victoria’s future growth.
[Notice given on 24 June 2010 — Listed for 2 days].
18
MS PULFORD — To move —
That this House —

Victorian economy, which has caused runs on banks, predicted recessions which have
not eventuated, and put into jeopardy the jobs of thousands of hard working Victorians;

policies which would ultimately skyrocket State debt, lead to the abandonment of
