00:01Everyone deserves to be safe going to their job and doing their working day,
00:07whether they're a politician or not.
00:10It's clear that politicians, especially female politicians, face a heightened risk in public life.
00:17Today I met with the Victorian Electoral Commissioner to discuss arrangements,
00:22in particular security arrangements, for the upcoming state election.
00:26Victoria Police will also provide an update to the Cabinet today.
00:32They have assured me there will be additional resources and arrangements in place for the upcoming state election.
00:40The VEC, Victoria Police and all political parties take the safety of this election very seriously.
