most grievously, by the Williamstown, Altona, Laverton Star on 20 June. Unfortunately, the Star has incorrectly covered my campaign to extend the subsidy that is paid, as many members in this House would know, to students to travel to Canberra. I am campaigning for needy students in my electorate to also have access to this subsidy, but unfortunately the journalist at the Star contacted St Monica’s School in Moonee Ponds—not in my electorate—instead of St Monica’s Primary School in Footscray, in the heart of my electorate. So, not surprisingly, this other school was not aware of the issues that I was raising on behalf of St Monica’s, who actually would like that assistance.
