Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:53): I had the great pleasure of attending a nutrition education skills training session that was held at the Refugee Resource Hub in Dandenong. I had the opportunity to cook alongside the refugee community, and it was a wonderful, wonderful time. I do congratulate this skill training. I think it is a fantastic thing that is offered to young people, to the elderly, to those who need to learn how to cook with the current food that is before them and within a budget. This program can be highly commended to all sorts of programs. They are going into schools and into aged care and into community centres, and the work that they are doing is providing people in our communities the opportunity to learn how to cook with fresh resources and to do it on a very good budget. Congratulations to them.
