Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:02): On another matter, I was very happy to host a visit with the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events and Minister for Creative Industries to the amazing McClelland gallery and sculpture park in Langwarrin. We toured the sculpture park and viewed their latest exhibition, titled Current, featuring newly commissioned and recent work by three First Nations artists. We then had a round table with the Committee for Frankston & Mornington Peninsula, the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board and business leaders to talk about the various challenges local businesses are grappling with around tourism and what solutions are available. I am proud to be part of a Labor government that continues to listen to our community.
