@lcvicparty MP for Western Metropolitan Region. 🌿 Fighting 4 medicinal & adult use of cannabis ✊ Social justice advocate 📍 Naarm - Wurundjeri Country

It's official — we changed the law! Our amendment to the Road Safety Act has passed both houses of Parliament. From March, medicinal cannabis patients who test positive to THC at a roadside drug test will no longer face automatic loss of licence. #SpringSt (1/6)

We're extremely proud of our candidate, Xavier Menta, who represented our party with passion, dedication, and joy. Onya, Xave!

The Liberal Party just don't get the West. To them, it's a place to drive through on the way to Torquay. Today, the opposition wanted to debate public transport and roads in Werribee, and I called it out for what it was: cynical opportunism devoid of alternatives. #SpringSt

Minister for Corrections has confirmed this in Parliament today. A modest win for prisoners & their families, but certainly welcome news. I raised this in #springst last year as connectivity between prisoners & their families is vital for rehabilitation.
I’ve just been told the VIC government’s subsidy for phone calls from prison will kick in from TOMORROW - 1 Feb 2025. Calls to mobiles will cost $0.25/minute, with no connection charge. It’s a decrease of more than half!

We’re still calling for the Allan government to fund an intern placement scheme so that enough financial counsellors are trained to run vital support services like the one announced today.
