Latrobe Valley’s new elected Member for Morwell Martin Cameron has had his electorate office located in Morwell handed over from parliamentary services.
Mr Cameron said it was exciting to finally receive the keys and official hand over of his electorate office so he can begin serving the Latrobe Valley community.
“The state election seems like it was so long along now and I’m ready to go.
“It’s been a busy period since officially being sworn in as the Member for Morwell a few days prior to Christmas.
“Getting my office is a real milestone, it means I can really get stuck into the issues that are impacting locals.
“While I have been working over the break, it’s been in a limited capacity with my laptop, phone, and kitchen table at my disposal.
“I am busy getting my head around the numerous IT systems used by parliament, but I am hoping to have my office properly resourced and fully operational by the end of the month.
“My training wheels are certainly turning quickly as I learn the ropes before parliament resumes for its first sitting of 2023 in early February.”
Mr Cameron said his immediate priorities will be holding the Andrews Government to account over the worker stand down at Opal’s Maryvale Mill and forensically looking at the re-establishment of the SEC and the 59,000 jobs promised by Labor.
“Latrobe Valley needs a real plan for job creation and new industries, I like many locals am far from satisfied with what Daniel Andrews has been serving up to our community.
“Locals are tired of Labor’s spin, its announcements and reannouncements often eventuate to nothing, then there’s critical infrastructure like the Latrobe River Bridge, Tyers that has taken over eight years and three terms of government to deliver – it’s unacceptable.
“The Andrews Government is big on spin but comes up short on deliverables.
“Labor’s sprinkled around some money on feel good projects locally, but it’s failed when it comes to creating sustainable long-term jobs, support and establishing industries, and adequately resourcing for our complex social welfare issues – our Valley community deserves better.”
Mr Cameron’s electorate office is located at 12 -14 George Street in Morwell and throughout January will be open for walk in inquiries Wednesday – Friday until all staff are on board. Assistance can is also available by telephone on (03) 5133 9088 or email martin.cameron@parliament.vic.gov.au
