I had the opportunity to address a petition submitted to Parliament by a Calwell constituent and signed by 5,620 Australians. I was also able to acknowledge Marco Magic, who experiences neuroblastoma and was the catalyst for this petition. Marco will be heading to the United States to undertake life-saving clinical trials, I wish him the best of luck.

I had the opportunity to speak about all the successful school in the latest round of the Local Schools Community Fund, who received funds to build and purchase infrastructure, and develop learning programs.

I had the opportunity to offer my condolences to all those who have lost loved ones in this devestating sason of bushfires. I also took the time to thank the local Sikh community, with more than 70 volunteers from the community collecting packages of food, materials, and donations for affected communities in eastern and northeastern Victoria.
