Canni Creek races

Mr T BULL: On Saturday I attended the Canni Creek races at Buchan in front of a record crowd, and there were a number of MPs there. We had the shadow Treasurer, the racing minister, federal MP Darren Chester and an upper house member for Eastern Victoria Region. It was a great day enjoyed by everyone in the community.

I drove into that racetrack two days after the fire and it was completely devastated, and to see it in its condition on Saturday was great. I think the racing minister continued his traditional poor form in punting, and the only winner he got was the one I tipped him. The shadow Treasurer was not a lot better, but full credit to all of the organisers there at Canni Creek—Ian Dunkley and his great team—for hosting a brilliant day.
