 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:00): Where else would you find a wood chopping competition, candy floss, farmyard animals and local politicians? That is right: it is the annual Berwick show, and what a wonderful weekend it was again, just a couple of weekends ago at Akoonah Park at the showgrounds. Along with my colleague Mr Tarlamis, it was a great to spend the weekend there, having lots of great conversations with the local community and engaging in this very historic local tradition as well. Thank you very much to the Berwick and District Agricultural and Horticultural Society for having us, including secretary Margaret Boon and the entire organising committee, and pulling off once again another fantastic event. Lots of great conversations were had with locals in the community, and I appreciate every single one of them who stopped and took the time to have a chat with us.
