Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (09:51): I would also like to congratulate our local community of Narracan. You have heard me in this place talk about the community project that we were doing to deliver four units for homeless women over 55, and I was extremely grateful that our Shadow Minister for Women the member for Eildon and the opposition leader came down to help open these units. It was a successful day with many, many trades attending and over $300,000 of in-kind contributions. These units are now ready for women that are homeless and doing it tough to have some respite and somewhere to stay while they get back on their feet. It was a fantastic event attended by all, and a very big congratulations to Fairview homes and Quantum, who came on board with that, and also WAYSS with their provider services. It is a fantastic result for our local community.
