welcome. Reflecting back on the job which they do, I can see how they might underestimate their importance and skill.
Nick taught me about correspondence and showed me the range of emails the office receives. I was able to write a birthday letter to someone who had turned 100! I also helped write to the Deputy Chief Minister on behalf of a constituent. I enjoyed learning and trying Nick’s job.
I also helped Emma and Tara work on one of Tara’s budget speeches.
Madam Speaker, I happened to give that speech a little over an hour ago. Tyler continued:
While at times, and much to my surprise, the speech got a little dry when talking about street sweeping, Emma and I found a way to make it engaging. Emma was able to teach me how to write a speech, how to be concise and how to make it relevant to the people rather than just statistics on a piece of paper.
I appreciated seeing some of the politicians, whether I talked to them or not. I saw Minister Ramsay, Ms Cody, Mr Parton, Ms Orr, Mr Gupta and Ms Burch—
or Madam Speaker, as I should call her in this speech. Tyler said:
I am so grateful that I was provided with such a great opportunity to be able to learn about the ACT Legislative Assembly and meet some truly amazing people.
It was a real pleasure to host Tyler. From his speech, I think he had a very good time. I absolutely wish him all the best; he is a real star.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.37 pm.
