Karter Evans

 Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (13:29): I rise today to tell a couple of good-news stories. I want to do a shout-out to the Warragul football club for making young Karter Evans’s dream come true of kicking his first goal. Karter Evans is triplegic; he is severely disabled, and Warragul football club and Hallora Junior Football Club worked together to let Karter kick his first goal. But it went further than that. They then reached out to the Essendon Football Club – a club I do not follow, but I will congratulate them – to get Karter onto the MCG to kick a goal on the MCG. That is a fantastic effort from everyone involved. Karter is football mad, and they have made his dreams come true.
