 John PESUTTO (Hawthorn) (10:35): Junior football clubs in the Hawthorn electorate deliver Auskick programs every year for our eager young footballers and facilitate the clubs’ involvement in the Yarra Junior Football League. I place on record our sincere appreciation for the countless hours contributed by the leaders, coordinators and volunteers at junior football clubs right across my community, including at Hawthorn Citizens, Canterbury Cobras and Camberwell Sharks junior football clubs, along with St Dominic’s and Canterbury Auskick. These programs bring kids and families together in the joy of sport. These programs build friendships and confidence and strengthen our community. I wish them good luck for the remainder of the season.
