  "A survey conducted by my office of GP clinics operating in Scullin in the southern suburbs of the City of Whittlesea reveals that of 31 local General Practice (GP) clinics, only one has an EasyClaim facility and only another two are intending to install them," Mr Jenkins said."It is little wonder that the Howard Government is desperately throwing money at the EasyClaim system to financially entice GPs to use it."
  
  "It is deceitful to tell the 130,000 residents of the City of Whittlesea who would benefit from a Medicare office that EasyClaim will meet their needs," Mr Jenkins pointed out.
  
  Medicare Australia's 7 August 2007 letter to Mr Jenkins stated "pending the take-up of this electronic claiming initiative, Medicare Australia will not be opening any new Medicare office."
  
  "Medicare Australia's refusal to support a local Medicare office can now be seen for what it is; a sham," Mr Jenkins explained.

  "The Kitchen Garden Program tackles childhood obesity by getting children growing their own vegetables, cooking and learning about food as part of the school curriculum," Mr Jenkins said.
  ...
  "I am inviting local schools to register their interest in being part of Labor's national program," Mr Jenkins said."If successful at the election, Labor will fund 190 primary schools across Australia and I am very keen for local schools to be part of this exciting project that introduces children to great food in a fun setting, for Scullin to get its fair share."
  
  The program which will provide up to $60,000 to establish kitchen and garden facilities at the school, plus curriculum support through the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
  
  "The Kitchen Garden Program will tackle the rising trend in childhood obesity by getting children to grow, cook and eat healthy food at school," Mr Jenkins explained."This innovative program combines physical activity and learning about the environment in the garden with healthy eating and adventurous cooking in the kitchen."
  
  "Children are not necessarily interested to know if something is healthy or not, they want to know that it is fun and it tastes good," Mr Jenkins said."They are proud of growing, then preparing, food for each other."
  
  "Some schools might already have a veggie garden, but this program may allow these schools to extend their programs further," Mr Jenkins said.

  "World Environment Day provides us with an opportunity to raise awareness in our local community of the issues which confront the globe," Mr Jenkins said.
  
  "Participating in kerbside activities, energy conservation and composting are simple yet very effective ways that all of us can help protect the planet.
  
  "One of the great strengths of World Environment Day is that it is a community event.On 5 June groups such as schools, local environmental organisations and local councils promote environmental initiatives and contribute to cleaning up and protecting the environment," Mr Jenkins said.
  
  "A prime local example has been the attempt to keep our local waterways clear of rubbish washed through the drainage system.
  
  "This has been reinforced by education programs in local schools, teaching students of the consequences of street litter.
  
  "And Council installing litter catching traps in the drains is an attempt to protect waters such as the Darebin Creek and the Merri Creek," Mr Jenkins said.
  
  Mr Jenkins said that this World Environment Day was particularly significant for Australia as the United Nations has chosen our country as host for significant international environmental events on the day, such as the awarding of the Global 500 Awards in Adelaide, and in the lead up to the Olympic Games.

  Harry Jenkins MP has described the Liberal Party's continued failure to endorse a candidate in the electorate of Scullin as "extraordinary".
  
  Despite widespread speculation the Prime Minister may call the election next week, the Liberal Party Victorian Division's website today yet again reveals that no one has been endorsed to run in Scullin.
  
  The Party's Victorian federal campaign manager Simon Morgan last week claimed to be ,very comfortable' with the timing of its candidate selection despite continuing to allow the seat to languish without a candidate.
  
  "This is simply an extraordinary situation where the Victorian Liberal Party has effectively walked away from local voters in Scullin," Mr Jenkins said."It reveals the Victorian Division is so out-of-touch and internally divided they believe they can take Senate votes in Labor-held seats for granted."
  
  "The fact that Divisions of the Liberal Party in other states have completely finalised their preselection processes shows the Victorian Liberals are in fact ,very comfortable' with a candidate selection shambles," Mr Jenkins pointed out.

  The Federal Member for Scullin, Harry Jenkins has welcomed the announcement that nine schools in the Scullin electorate have received $545,950 in grant funding from the 2007 Investing in Our Schools Programme round for government schools.
  
  The Diamond Valley Special Developmental School has received $100,000 for landscaping.
  
  "Diamond Valley Special School has helped students with special needs and their families over many years," Mr Jenkins said."The school's use of not only classrooms but outdoor spaces to enhance the scope of experiences for students is well regarded and this funding is appropriate recognition of this."
  
  Greensborough Primary School $43,737 grant is for information technology equipment and t the school also received $56,013 to upgrade its school grounds bringing its total funding to $99,750.
  
  "Greensborough has a great reputation within the community for the innovative way that the school has used information technology as an integral education tool," Mr Jenkins explained.

  "At this year's election the electoral roll will slam shut on the day the writs are issued, which is almost always on the day the election is called," Mr Jenkins said."Those already on the roll will now get only three days to update their details."
  
  "Under the old laws voters had seven days to enrol, and the Electoral Commission had seven days to run a campaign to remind people to enrol," Mr Jenkins explained."After the last election 408,770 voters across Australia enrolled for the first time, re-enrolled, or changed their details."
  
  "If you divide that figure by the 150 House of Representatives seats around Australia, that is 2,720 people in every electorate," Mr Jenkins said."These so-called reforms are even more outrageous in light of the fact that last week the Howard Government admitted more than 410,000 of 18 to 25 year-old Australians were missing from the electoral roll."
  
  "This is not governing in the interests of young people," Mr Jenkins said."Young people have enough to worry about without being locked out of the democratic process because they fail to comply with the complex requirments of new laws designed to favour the Howard Government."
  
  "Under these new laws, by the time a young person gets home from study or work and finds out an election has been called, the electoral roll will be closed," Mr Jenkins said.
  
  "Whether they support the Labor Party or not, I want to ensure that as many young people from Scullin as possible who are eligible to vote get a chance to have their say on polling day," Mr Jenkins said.
