 Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (13:57): On another matter, it was a busy weekend in the south-west, and I was honoured to be invited to attend the state nippers carnival in Warrnambool. More than 750 young people took part, cheered on by over 2500 supporters, lots of them parents. It was terrific to see young people from across Victoria dedicating themselves to community service, to exercise and healthy sporting activity and of course to the competition and camaraderie involved. Congratulations to the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club on their 14th year of hosting that event.
