Brunswick electorate
Tim READ (Brunswick) (09:49): I would like to thank the people of Brunswick for returning me to represent them for the next four years. I am particularly keen to name a few key volunteers without whose help I would not be here. In particular I would like to mention Nick Rouse, Ross Wilkinson, Chloe Holmes, Tom Lockwood and Tate de Klerk for their work on our campaign. Lots of volunteers across Brunswick knocked on doors, entered data, spoke to people, answered phone calls and so on. Everybody in this place knows an election campaign in a lower house seat is a big job and we cannot do it without a lot of people volunteering an enormous amount of their time. Other people I would like to name include Laurence Bretag, Kenna Morrison, Gerard de la Rue, Thomas Granger, Alex Marx, David Micallef, Sarah Garry and Matt Maber. We also had some staff on our campaign team, particularly Louise Sampson, Oskar Summers-Dixon, Luci Nicholson and Tahlia Bowen. There are far too many people for me to name – more than 100 volunteers in all and then other supporters who handed out how-to-vote cards on the day. I just want to say thank you to all of those people and that I will do my very best to represent you as we encourage the government to go further and faster in tackling climate change.
