 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:23): My second matter is that on Thursday I had the opportunity to visit Port Phillip Community Group to recognise some special volunteers on their work, with a certificate and T-shirt. I have had a lot of connection with that team, and I am proud that the 2022–23 budget supported their work, from the direct advocacy and policy with the government and social partners to delivering on the ground support, food banks and support for socially isolated individuals that the group delivers. Thank you for the invite from Ruth, and thank you to chair Gina Fiske and executive officer Veena Mishra for a great day.
