Women in sport

Mr ATKINSON (Eastern Metropolitan) (11:21): I just wish to congratulate the Australian women’s cricket team on a remarkable effort in winning the seventh World Cup, and in particular Alyssa Healy for her sensational 170 runs in a 50-over match. It is quite extraordinary. I would also extend congratulations to the Melbourne Victory women’s team for their win in the national competition. To have these women sportspeople out there as examples for young women to get involved in sport, to be active and to develop their careers in sport is a wonderful thing.
