What is this government going to do? This government is going to continue to work closely with the Napthine-led Liberal-National Party government in order to advance the best interests of the people of Victoria, and the possums will be part of that. I am sure that the government in Victoria will do everything they can to ensure that the Leadbeater's possum will be safe into the future but, more importantly, I am confident that the Liberal-National government in Victoria will continue to do everything they can to advance the best interests of the state of Victoria and to build a stronger, more prosperous economy in Victoria so that everyone has got the best opportunity to get ahead. And they will do so, as they have over the last four years, in a way that is environmentally responsible and environmentally sustainable.
