The dangers posed to young children by loose curtain and blind cords and chains are highlighted in a new Consumer Affairs Victoria safety campaign, The Nationals Member for Murray Valley, Ken Jasper, said today. Mr Jasper said it is tragic that some 15 Australian children have died in strangling incidents related to curtain and blind cords since the early 1990s, with two young Victorian children dying in August and September last year. This safety campaign plans to raise awareness of the dangers of unsafe curtain and blind cords through the key message: loose curtain and blind cords can strangle children – keep them out of reach so children are out of danger, he said. |

The Nationals Member for Murray Valley, Ken Jasper, today called on the Victorian Government to address a concerning decline in Murray Valley’s high school retention rate. Mr Jasper said new research by the Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition showed the percentage of students remaining at high school until year 12 in the Hume Region had fallen from 69.6 percent in 2002 to 65.2 per cent in 2009. The Victorian Government must address this slump in retention rates, not only in Hume Region, but across Victoria, as a matter of urgency, Mr Jasper said. |
