Mr HAMER (Box Hill) (13:15): Deputy Speaker, may I add my congratulations to your elevation to that role.

It was terrific to join year 10 commerce students at Box Hill High School last week as part of their ‘influencing the law and economic issues’ learning unit. Students were required to put together a short presentation about a contemporary issue that they are passionate about. This assignment tested students’ research skills and their personal and social capability skills by presenting a proposal for change related to their topic of interest. Topics being investigated ranged across adoption legislation, homelessness, the cost of living, refugee policy, climate change, housing and digital privacy. All topics were well researched and demonstrated well-considered arguments in favour of and against proposed changes. With students such as these leading the way our future is in good hands.
