Nhill and District Sporting Club

Ms KEALY (Lowan) (09:45): I congratulate the Nhill Tigers for their narrow but epic 2-point win over the Southern Mallee Giants last weekend after a long, 1029-day drought. The locals of course carried Dale ‘Daisy’ Thomas through the game, and they were able to get that long-awaited win.

I was very, very proud to stand by Glenn Meek—the late, great Glenn Meek—and Brett Wheaton back in 2018 to commit to upgrading the home ground of the Nhill Tigers, which is Davis Park. Unfortunately this government have not yet met that commitment, and I note that in the federal election The Nationals also made that similar commitment. We have now got a Labor government at a federal level. So I ask: at a state and federal level, please meet the needs of the local people. They voted for this. Deliver this vital infrastructure funding and support the home of the Nhill Tigers.
