Martin CAMERON (Morwell) (09:46): What a great day was had around Latrobe City for Australia Day. With this being my first as a new MP, it was a pleasure to attend some local town celebrations but also the new citizenship ceremony and Australia Day awards. The citizenship ceremony was an absolute highlight, with many families looking nervous but ever so proud to become Australian citizens. Well done to all involved. The 2023 Citizen of the Year for Latrobe City was Nicholas King, who from an idea to build a mountain bike track raised support and funds to have this amazing mountain bike park, with 13Â kilometres of tracks in the Haunted Hills near Moe. Well done, Nicholas King. Such a deserving winner.
