Mr  J. BULL — I urgently call on members of the opposition to counsel their leader and have him stop making inflammatory, divisive and destructive comments about our emergency services, in particular Victoria Police.

His behaviour is not that of a leader. Times of tragedy, when lives are lost and people are hurt, are times for strong, stable, rational decision-making.

The Premier and all government members understand this. We stand with the Victorian community; we stand with Victoria Police.
