■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish, in praising local health workers, says that they need support. “I certainly commend the services of our health workers in my electorate,” Ms McLeish said/ “I have Eastern Health hospitals and I have Mansfield, Yea and Alexandra, while Previous Seymour is close by and Kilmore is not too bad, where women go for birthing, and of course we are on the fringe with the Northern, Austin and Mercy Women’s at Heidelberg. “They all do a terrific job but need to be supported so that the morale is strengthened, not weakened, and we do not have people walking away from those professions.” Ms McLeish was addressing State Parliament on a Safe Patient Care Bill. “Nothing has been greater than yesterday when we had many people come from Albury – Wodonga on the train down to the steps of Parliament – that is a full day out for them – and there were doctors and nurses, people from the hospital very concerned about the future of their health care and what is going to happen in that area. “They need a new hospital. They want it on a greenfield site. The minister is very determined not to meet the community need in that way, so I think that there is still a lot more that needs to be done here,” Ms McLeish said.
PRAISE FOR LOCAL STUDENT LEADERS ■ Euroa MLA Annabelle Cleeland has spoken in State Parliament of her pride of local student leaders. “I had the privilege of meeting the next generation of leaders across our region while visiting local schools recently, and I can confidently say our future is in good hands,” Ms Cleeland told the Legislative Assembly. “A huge thankyou to Euroa Secondary College, Seymour College, St Patrick’s Primary, Broadford Primary, St Joseph’s and Nagambie Primary School for welcoming me into your leadership ceremonies and classrooms. “It was an honour to speak with students about the many forms leadership can take and the incredible impact young leaders can have on their schools and communities. “To this year’s school leaders: congratulations. By stepping up to guide your peers, you are shaping not just your school but the future of our region,” Ms Cleeland said.
Well done Dylan
■ Euroa MLA Annabelle Cleeland has praised Dylan Townsend, who she met during drop-in sessions at her Benalla office. “Despite his young age, Dylan’s amazing understanding of Parliament and its history and the challenges facing our region is so inspiring,” Ms Cleeland said.
