Nick STAIKOS (Bentleigh – Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Local Government) (09:57): Congratulations to McKinnon Secondary College on a practically perfect production of Mary Poppins. I particularly congratulate the principal cast: Jessica Sweeney, Felix De Lemos, Eden Morehu, Olivia Capurro Martinez, Honorary Leung, Tilly Parrish, Mikayla Silver, Lucy Green and Lia Erlich; and the ensemble: Milana Gavrilenko, Tara Geehman, Amelia Long, Miranda Sacks, Michaela Anderson, Ariella Liberman, Katya Blutman, Isabella Ruthven, Tamar Elboher, Eva Sun, Shiraz Elbaz, Kate Parrish, Adele Finn, Bella Schneider, Sofia Kovalenko, Lily Wever, Addison Rood, Anthony Smith, Mia Kinross, Benya Goldman, Phoebe Guidera, Sid Noble, Sophia Rusin, Kirsten Wong, Sophia Rink, Ryan Nguyen, Zoe McGrane, Elise King, Cormac Dixon, Jensen Blutman, Felix Nutting, Jackson Torres, Amy Fierstein, Isla Rood, Prisha Chatterjee, Eseosa Olaye, Ella Zin, Kassidy Warren-Smith, Sarah Lyon, Susie Ellis, Clementine Wilson, Constance Leung, Audrey Kambouris, Emma Saffer, Micaela Kelleher, Drew Tinworth, Chloe Shen, Shai Rozenberg and Sera Solomon. This being a 90-second statement, sadly I do not have time to go through the names of all the crew, but the crew work very, very hard behind the scenes and the show could not possibly go on without them. They should consider themselves collectively acknowledged. Congratulations and well done to everyone involved.
