National Nutrition Week Breakfast

Thursday, 19 October 2017

It is such a privilege to be invited to this event to celebrate National Nutrition Week. Firstly, I would like to thank the Hon. Brad Hazzard MP, Minister for Health and Minister for Medical Research, for his attendance this morning. I would also like to thank Barbara Ward for inviting me to speak.

With beginnings more than 20 years ago, National Nutrition Week is a reminder to us to celebrate the importance of healthy eating and recognising the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. The creative launch of this year’s annual campaign ‘Try for 5’ aims to do exactly that.

Madam Speaker,

I rise in the House today to speak in support of the funding and installation of a synthetic playing field in my electorate.

After meeting with a large number of representatives from a wide range of sporting codes I am convinced that a synthetic field will provide increased playing opportunities and improve player safety and well-being.
