Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (10:33): A massive shout-out to Ross Mulquiney and the Yarrawonga Football Netball Club for their stand against domestic violence, particularly violence against women. Football–netball clubs are the heart and soul of our country communities, and leadership like that shown on Saturday is what makes the Pigeons not just a local football–netball club but a club that encourages a safe and secure environment and that teaches boys and young men to not only look out for but to call out their mates when they witness conversations or poor behaviour. Teaching the netball young women the signs to look for was also an outstanding piece of leadership which will help to start the conversation across the whole community, not just those who pull on the navy blue and white.
