The Shadow that Follows
Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (09:49): Today I wish to acknowledge and thank schools around the electorate that Conor Pall and I visited last week. It was perhaps one of the most meaningful days I have had in this role yet. It took a bit of planning, but we delivered copies of Conor’s book The Shadow that Follows to local school libraries. This is a really important exercise because this book should be accessible to all young people, and if just one person picks it up and identifies with it, then Conor may have actually saved a life. Thanks to Koorlong Primary, The Lake Primary School, Red Cliffs East Primary, Chaffey Secondary College and Mildura Specialist School along with St Mary’s Robinvale and Robinvale College for accepting my donation of books and having Conor speak to the students whilst there.
