 Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:58): I have to say, I concur with Mrs Broad’s earlier remarks about the lateness of our finish. Probably we are all very, very tired today. I am pretty sure we are going to have to switch our printers on to power-saving mode, and we might be a little bit low on toner, but we will see how we travel throughout the rest of the course of the day. Anyway, I am pleased to say that I had a wonderful experience over the weekend, and it was fantastic to visit the Kilsyth festival. This event is always a highlight. It was great to connect with many locals and hand out our ever-popular and sought-after Terps merch. We also got to talk to many people about the fantastic projects that the Allan Labor government is delivering. Of particular interest was the Metro Tunnel.

Members interjecting.

Sonja TERPSTRA: Yes, my Terps merch is printed in accordance with the rules and all that sort of stuff. Others tend not to do that. Anyway, of particular interest was the Metro Tunnel, affectionately known by our gunzel community as the Munnel, which officially opened this Sunday. It is truly a transformative project that will reshape our transport network for decades to come. I want to thank everyone who stopped by at the Kilsyth festival for a chat, and I look forward to seeing you again next time.
