Parliament

I rise today in this grievance debate to grieve that this Parliament has not given adequate consideration to prenatal diagnosis of foetal abnormality.

The action I seek is that all of the city of Moreland be designated zone 1 for public transport fares. The fact is that not all of Moreland is included in zone 1, and we want to make sure that we continue to improve the public transport system.

On Sunday, on behalf of the Leader of the Opposition, I had the honour of attending an event to celebrate the work of the Sisters of Mercy Melbourne Congregation from its establishment in 1857 to 2011 and to commemorate the establishment of its new institute from December 2011.

The action I seek is that the minister alert the new Melbourne Water managing director of Melbourne Water's responsibility to honour its commitment post the completion of the Northern Sewerage Project to restore the local amenity of the mine sites that were used for the Northern Sewerage Project tunnelling.

I congratulate Australian Workers Union members and other workers who have successfully completed the Northern Sewerage Project.

What an absolute embarrassment the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission Bill 2011 is.

I rise to make a brief contribution to the debate on the Justice Legislation Further Amendment Bill 2011.

I rise to speak on the Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee (SARC) review of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, a report that was tabled in September.
