 Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery, Minister for Equality) (10:03): Inclusion matters, and I am so proud of our inclusive community, like our local Football Integration Development Association all-abilities teams. Watching a footy match between Eltham Panthers and Lower Plenty Bears was awesome fun, seeing how much enthusiasm, joy and great footy was on the field. Congratulations to the Eltham Panthers on their thrilling two-point victory and to both clubs on a fantastic contest and wonderful sportsmanship and sportswomanship. Thank you to everybody who continues to make all-abilities football an important part of our local sporting community. I would encourage everyone in the community to get down and have a watch of this game. You will never have more fun.
