Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (10:11): On 15 August I was delighted to again visit Coburg North Primary School’s assembly to congratulate students who participated in the Victorian parliamentary speech prize of 2025, and I commended Pheonix, who spoke about more mountain bike tracks; Aria, who spoke on why kids need more parks that kids in wheelchairs can access; Madison, who spoke on youth mental health; Elisavet, who spoke on the rights of animals to live free; Emmi, who spoke on more community meals; and Evie, who came third across the entire state of Victoria, speaking on the shortage of and need for more water taps across our community. We also celebrated the installation of the new peace pole, thanks to Bruno and Deborah D’Aprano from the Pascoe Vale Rotary Club.
