Ms SHING — It was wonderful to welcome the Minister for Education back to Gippsland and to actually do some calculations as we turned a sod at Warragul Regional College and celebrated the commencement of planning for a Colman Foundation partnership for a feed‑in kinder and community education facility at Morwell Central Primary School, as well as looking at increases and improvements to education. Tallying that up, this government has spent, compared to the previous government’s investment of $1 million across the Legislative Assembly seats of Morwell and Narracan, $65 million in education in the three years that it has been in government. This is a really significant achievement, and we are very proud to support these growing communities.
