Years of underfunding have left many public schools struggling to meet growing demand, while educators continue to do more with less. Investing in fair wages, improved working conditions, and properly funded public schools is an investment in our children's future and in a stronger, fairer Victoria. #aeu #Victorianteachers #tarneitcommunity #hopperscrossingcommunity

I appreciate everyone who responded to our Tarneit Community Survey.
After distributing more than 25,000 survey flyers, we've heard a clear message from our community. The top priorities are better public transport, a Tarneit Hospital, improved healthcare, more investment in education, and the roads and infrastructure needed for our growing community.
Your feedback is strengthening our campaign and helping us fight for the investment Tarneit deserves. Thank you for making your voice heard.
