Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy will create a new shadow cabinet position to represent students struggling as a result of remote learning during the pandemic.Mr Guys says he wants to appoint someone who is "totally dedicated to the focus on students" and their mental health
"I want to have someone who is totally dedicated to the focus on students, their needs, and their mental health."less than three years after Mr Guy lead the opposition to an embarrassing defeat at the 2018 election. Caulfield MP David Southwick was promoted to the Deputy Leader of the Party this week, taking over the job from Eildon MP Cindy McLeish.When asked whether he was comfortable with demoting a woman, Mr Guy said he would bring back a program he had in 2018 called 'women to win' to try to boost the number of women in the party.
Mr Guy has repeatedly said his party would adhere to the National Cabinet plan, which meant there would be no citywide or state-wide lockdowns once the 70 per cent double-dose threshold was reached.
Is mental health the core of Matthew Guy’s agenda? If so, I guess it won’t take months to see a psychiatrist nor ridiculously expensive fees to see them. Also, employees and students can take paid mental leaves … !!! lobsterguy

They’re going to come back and tell you what we already know: a government that neglects the environment is stressful. Being released from lockdown amongst unvaxd friends is stressful. Treat the cause you dingdongs.
