 David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (12:49): It was a pleasure yesterday to be part of a book launch for Rebecca Seidner and her book New Girl in School. Rebecca grew up with cerebral palsy in the 1980s and was, as her mother has described, one of the most disabled children to go to a mainstream school. She has now written this book about her experiences. I encourage all libraries to share it, and I am actually going to ask the library here in the Parliament to also share that very important book. Thank you, Rebecca, for writing that.
