FIFA Women’s World Cup

Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:50): On another matter, how could I let today go by without acknowledging our wonderful Matildas and how they made us so proud last night. What a fantastic run they have had. As colleagues have mentioned already, they have absolutely united us all, as Victorians, as Australians, as one behind them. It is fantastic to see the beautiful game get so much support and love and to see a wonderful, inspirational team like the Matildas driving that from the front. Obviously we are all very disappointed by the result, but we will all be cheering them on on Saturday and we wish them all the best for that. Once again, go Matildas!
