Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (10:04): I am so lucky to have the Zimbabwean Community in Australia Victoria president in my community in Cranbourne, so I was really pleased to have the opportunity to catch up with Enock and Tinashe a couple of weeks ago. They have got a great event coming up at Easter and they are bringing a lot of people together for a football match – some people call it soccer; it is certainly ‘football’ in our family – and netball as well. I am very grateful, as always, to the Zimbabwean community, who work so hard to bring the community together, many of them as clinicians. Many members of the Zimbabwean community have come to Australia and are really supporting our healthcare system, and I know the Minister for Health will be happy to have so many of our Zimbabwean community members working in the healthcare system.
