 Sonya KILKENNY (Carrum – Attorney-General, Minister for Planning) (10:21): Bonbeach Life Saving Club is doing incredible work through its CALD water safety program. The program is led by Ramzi Hussaini, who fled Afghanistan many years ago. Ramzi volunteers his time to support so many young people from Victoria’s diverse and multifaith communities to build confidence and skills in the water. Even better, he supports many of these young people to go on to gain their accreditation and become lifesavers themselves. It was great to meet many of them at the club last weekend – a fantastic example of community leadership in action. Thank you to club president Dawn Walterfang, patrol manager Tara Hocking and treasurer Thomas Landstra.
