Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (09:41): I rise today to acknowledge and thank the staff and students of Irymple Primary School for inviting me to attend their Anzac ceremony last week. This is a terrific public school with a broad leadership program who laid wreaths to remember our Anzacs, local veterans like Brad McGlashan, who was also in attendance at the ceremony, and those currently serving. I was able to share a small part of our family’s Anzac story whilst encouraging these amazing young people to listen to these stories and to never forget. Thanks for having me, Irymple Primary School. Lest we forget.
