Lions Club

Mr HODGETT: On another matter, I would like to speak on the wonderful achievement of Lions Club Australia, who on 29 September are celebrating 75 years of service within Australia. This year also marks the 70th anniversary of Lions service within Victoria. Each year Lions donate 2 million hours of community support, making communities more livable, and they invest millions of dollars towards environmental projects. Last year alone, through community fundraising, Lions Australia raised $28 million that went towards funding medical research and health care, assisting adults and children with disabilities and emergency response and other purposes to help the community. Being a Lion myself I can speak for the fantastic work that the Lions clubs provide within my electorate, benefiting the whole community.
