 Mr NORTHE (Morwell) (12:53): I recently attended the Gippsland Sports Academy awards evening, which is always a fabulous occasion and an opportunity to celebrate the successes of some extraordinary Gippsland athletes, who are so ably supported by coaches, sponsors, volunteers, family members and the academy itself. From a Morwell electorate perspective, I wish to congratulate the following nominees for awards: Chelsea Elliott, tennis; Jack Johnson, volleyball; Liam Farley, shooting; Grace Van Tilberg, netball; Alexandra Luders, swimming; Judi Buhagiar, netball; Michael Mihaly, swimming; and Nic Ryan, volleyball. Alexandra and Judi took out the overall David Drane and Phil Shelley awards respectively.
