 Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Minister for Health Infrastructure) (10:01): I also saw some tough kicks from our girls at the local Altona Vikings Junior Football Club last week. They held an all-girls training session, where they were treated to a visit from Kathryn Chatelier, the Western Jets’ regional development coach. I also to want to particularly congratulate two of the girls: Piper Dickson, who has been drafted for the Western Jets, and Charlie O’Connor-Moreira, who is moving into the AFLW Western Bulldogs. This is really emblematic of how far we have come when it comes to women’s sport.
