Victorian Legislative Council, Melbourne – Rachel Payne discusses the Impacts of Cannabis on Driving Performance

Rachel Payne MP inquired with the Minister for Local Government on the status of the Municipal Association Act 1907 review.

Rachel Payne spoke during the debate on the Government’s Gambling Legislation Amendment Bill 2023.

On behalf of Legalise Cannabis Victoria, Rachel introduced a motion for a Parliamentary Inquiry into the potential for Industrial Hemp in Victoria.

Rachel presented a member’s statement on her attendance to the 2025 David Penington Oration. This year’s oration was presented by former Magistrate of the Victorian Drug court, Tony Parsons.

Rachel asked a written question around statistics on Justices of the Peace in Victoria.

Rachel asked the government for a commitment to continue funding Southside Justice’s legal program for sex workers. As one of only two services of its kind in the country, this program has provided legal assistance to workers in the sex industry since 2022. Funding is set to cease in December, which will impede access to trauma-informed legal assistance for common issues such as non-payment and assault.
