Blake Schlein

 Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (09:43): Then there is Blake. At just 12 years old, Blake Schlein has become a world champion on two wheels, winning the SGP4 world championship in Sweden last month. And today he turns 13. Happy birthday, Blake. Not many kids can say they have entered their teenage years already with a world championship under their belt. He is a legend of a kid too. We know that keeping kids on the straight and narrow is made a lot easier when you get them involved in motorsport, because they have to go and get a job to pay for it and that is where all their money goes. Imagine what we could do if we got our fair share in Mildura; that is what the Nationals will guarantee. With our fair share of education funding we could win mathletics championships. With our fair share of infrastructure funding we could finally build that Mildura motorplex and keep putting world champions on track.
