Statement – Target Closure – 1 June 2018

StatementsBy Kirstie HendersonJune 1, 2018

The closure of the Target Mid Valley Store on June 2 is a bitter blow for many local workers and families. Our thoughts are with the workers and their families at this difficult time and hopefully the majority of redundant workers are able to find suitable local employment. For the sake of existing tenants at…

Statement – Protection of our Emergency Service workers – 16 May 2018

StatementsBy Kirstie HendersonMay 16, 2018

Member for Morwell Russell Northe said that yesterday’s decision in the County Court that saw two persons successfully appeal their sentence for seriously assaulting a Victorian paramedic has caused uproar in the community.

StatementsBy Russell NortheJune 22, 2017

Mr NORTHE (Morwell) — News that the Carter Holt Harvey (CHH) sawmill in Morwell will close very soon is a terrible blow for the 160 workers, their families and service providers.

Mr NORTHE (Morwell) — We are now only nine days from the closure of the Hazelwood power station — nine days till the loss of hundreds of jobs and massive uncertainty for many workers, contractors, service providers and their families.

Members Statement – Hazelwood Power Station – Wednesday 8 March 2017

StatementsBy Russell NortheJune 21, 2017

Mr NORTHE (Morwell) — As this government lurches from one crisis to another, the Latrobe Valley community should be in no doubt that this state government is more concerned about its own future than that of Latrobe Valley workers, contractors and businesses. This is a government in complete denial — denial about the systematic rorting by some of…

StatementsBy Russell NortheFebruary 28, 2017

Mr NORTHE (Morwell) — Here we are now, 37 days from Hazelwood power station closing and it appears nothing has changed from a state government perspective.
