Member for Northern Victoria Tim Quilty invites education minister to ageing school building

Tim Quilty, Liberal Democrats Member for Northern Victoria, visited Wodonga Middle Years College to see for himself how teachers and students are struggling in the outdated Huon Campus.

With no funding since 2008, the building is suffering a catalogue of problems which Mr Quilty wants to share with Education Minister James Merlino.

“If the Minister saw what I saw on Monday, I’m certain he would be more than happy to open his cheque book and fix the problems facing the staff and students at Wodonga Middle Years College’s Huon Campus,” Mr Quilty said.

“We’re going to need new politicians”: Quilty

Both major parties have turned their backs on northern Victorians after rejecting a motion by Liberal Democrats MP for Northern Victoria Tim Quilty to withdraw from the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

Despite being told that crops are failing and inland dairy farming in the region is on its last legs, Mark Gepp and Wendy Lovell who represent northern Victoria for Labor and the Liberal parties both spoke against the motion. Ms Lovell proposed an amendment to redraft the Plan and Mr Gepp refused to even consider redrafting it. Mr Quilty said he was bitterly disappointed in them.
