 Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (10:07): I want to pay credit to Lucy Macnamara, a very clever botanist who submitted a grant application for a bush kinder and was successful at Mayone-bulluk kindergarten. It is a really big deal for our little ones to be able to access bush kinders. Obviously the Minister for Children in the other place has made this possible, but I do want to pay credit to our early childhood educators and particularly to somebody who had the foresight as a horticulturalist to submit such an outstanding application. Our early childhood kinder teachers are a credit to us all, as are our children.
