 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:48): I would like to acknowledge the two Remembrance Day services I attended in the last week: firstly, the Caulfield RSL on Remembrance Day, which despite the weather had a very moving ceremony; and also on Sunday the Victorian Association of Jewish Ex & Servicemen & Women Australia in Ripponlea held a service at the cenotaph that is dedicated to those Jewish Australians who fought and served and died in our wars. It was a privilege to be there and to lay a wreath on behalf of the government and to pay my respects. I want to congratulate VAJEX for the work that they do.
