Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (09:36): I would like to put on the record today a fantastic event we held on the weekend, the Polwarth community function. This is a regular event we hold where we celebrate the great things that happen in the electorate of Polwarth. One of the great things that we managed to achieve this weekend was a fundraiser for the Fill It Up Mate campaign run by our local neighbourhood house. I can proudly report that the people that came along for the day raised around $1000. We will be presenting that to this important service in our local community that makes sure that families have access to fresh and available food on a daily basis. Coordinator Julie Hallifax does a great job bringing people together, most importantly coordinating a really essential service, and it was great that the people of Polwarth could help with that.
