Press conference – Bendigo

LISA CHESTERS: Good afternoon and welcome to all those visiting Bendigo. I am Lisa Chesters, the proud federal member for Bendigo, and so pleased to be able to welcome the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Minister for Skills and Training, Andrew Giles, back to Bendigo. It’s an important visit. It’s a visit where the PM said he was coming to Bendigo. I said, we are going to TAFE, and for good reason. This campus is doing extraordinary things and training the next generation of tradespeople that our community desperately needs, whether it be for home construction, road civil construction, or for any number of the community projects that we are building right now in this town. Before I hand over to the PM, can I give a huge shout out to all the students that we have met today, the amazing men and women, locals who have said we want to be part of the change and that are on a pathway to a job and a skilful life. And can I give a shout out to our hosts, Bendigo TAFE, who are growing, and to the amazing TAFE teachers for what they are doing. There’s a real sense of energy here at this campus and that’s why I was so pleased to be able to welcome our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to Bendigo and to Bendigo TAFE. So, welcome, Prime Minister.
