Valley Dragons Supporters Appeal

MS ELLIS (4.38): Madam Speaker, I rise to outline very briefly to members my intention this evening to attend a special fundraising dinner being held at the Tuggeranong Valley Rugby Union Club. It is being put together by the Valley Dragons Supporters Appeal Group. Members may recall the tragic accident in the suburb of Banks last month, when two children were killed. The eldest child, the boy, was a member of the junior sporting club there, the Dragons, and friends of the family who are on the Dragons committee thought it might be a good thing for the family if an amount of money were raised to show the compassion of the community.

At the dinner tonight there will be an auction to raise money. I will be going along as an MLA from Tuggeranong, but also representing the Government. Mr Connolly has kindly arranged, in conjunction with the Raiders, to donate a pair of new Raiders numberplates, No. 141, for inclusion in the auction. I look forward to reporting back to the Assembly at a later date on the success of the fundraising and on the projects that I believe the committee has in mind to assist not only the family but also the young people in the community in Tuggeranong.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 4.40 pm
