Constituency questions- Victorian Industry Participation

Mr  J. BULL (Sunbury) — (12 443) My question is to the Minister for Industry and Employment, and I ask the minister: what is the Andrews Labor government doing to strengthen the Victorian Industry Participation Policy, improve opportunities for local suppliers and ensure that commitments to local content are met? I have many fantastic supply, distribution and manufacturing businesses in Tullamarine, in my electorate, businesses like Willow Ware and Fronius, which do an outstanding job meeting the demands of a fast-paced and rapidly changing industry. Local businesses often talk to me about the importance of local content and industry participation rules in securing local jobs and the importance of fostering high-quality expertise which results in the terrific products and components made right here in Victoria. I again ask the minister: what is the Andrews Labor government doing to strengthen the Victorian Industry Participation Policy, improve local opportunities for local suppliers and ensure that commitments to local content are met?
