Ever wondered how we’re building schools faster than ever? 🏫⚡. 📍 121 new schools by 2026.📍 92,000 extra places for students.📍 8 months faster than in 2014.📍 50% of new schools built in Aus in the last decade = Victoria. One reason why? Modern Methods of Construction. 🎥

30 per cent increase in number of women reporting violent abuse by their former partners. Thank you to Melbourne Woman, Emma for sharing your story, and @VictoriaPolice Senior Constable Ross Williams who investigated Emma’s case which resulted in a conviction.

Tonight, Liberal infighting will continue as the party meets to decide the future of the Member for Hawthorn. Meanwhile, Labor is focused on delivering for Victorians.

The safety of students, teachers and school staff is our top priority. These strengthened powers send a clear message that harmful behaviour outside of school or online has consequences.
