Speeches

Speaker, I am thrilled to inform the House of the recent rise of football in our local community. Football is the world's largest sport and has united countries across the globe. This year, my son James began playing for Forest Rangers FC and has loved the experience. It has been great to see him learn new skills, make friends and use his energy on the field, rather than at home. Locally, participation numbers are on the rise.

Today I acknowledge the lives of two extraordinary Oatley residents, Mr and Mrs Norm and Beryl Butters, who both sadly passed away earlier this year on the same day, 10 August 2020. There are few people who have made as large an impact on the community as Mr and Mrs Norm and Beryl Butters. Norm and Beryl got married in 1956 and soon after moved to Norm's childhood suburb of Oatley, where they raised their children and together built strong relationships within the local community.
