 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:42): I also want to acknowledge the South Morang Scout Group, which held its annual report and presentation evening last Monday at The Lakes college. The group has grown to four times the size it was only a few years ago – an incredible achievement. My thanks go to Whittlesea district commissioner Tim Purdy, along with Amanda Silver, Shamir Muhammad, Eka Sari, Lauren Clark, Nicole Black, Michael Nyssen, Belinda Hooper, Becc Kortmann, Stephan Kong and Debbie Wong. These dedicated volunteers give so much of their time and energy, bringing joy and opportunity to local young people. I want to thank them for their incredible work as well as to congratulate the Scouts on their well-deserved awards and accomplishments for the year.
