Broadmeadows electorate
Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (09:57): Today I also want to speak about the wonderful sports clubs and organisations in my electorate. I love the incredible diversity of Broadmeadows, where in the space of one weekend you can attend the Multicultural Mango Festival run by the Australian Pakistani Youth Association, a mass celebrating the feast of St Charbel and a lively afternoon at the Glenroy footy club. I have also had the pleasure of joining ladies days at both the Oak Park and Hadfield footy clubs, visiting the Moreland Eagles soccer club, attending presentation nights at the Glenroy Bowls Club and Fawkner Netball Club, meeting the coaches at the Glenroy Cricket Club, enjoying a fabulous Christmas in July hosted by the Broadmeadows Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, an interfaith Eid dinner and the 20th anniversary mass and celebration of Our Lady Guardian of Plants Chaldean Catholic Church in Campbellfield. Thank you to the incredible people who volunteer their time for the community. You are the lifeblood of Victoria.
