Summer safety
Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (09:47): It is just about that time of year when we all wind down and get into the holiday spirit, when we talk about how quickly this year has gone by and spend time with our friends and family. As beautiful as this time of year is, whatever way you spend it we all need to remember to stay safe. That means when you are outside you slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek some shade and slide on some sunnies. It means when you are down at the beach you swim between the flags. It means when you are driving you always remember to wear your seatbelt, obey the road rules and keep within the speed limit. It means you and your family being prepared in case of a bushfire or a grassfire. It means always keeping an eye on the kid in the swimming pool. Staying safe this summer can just mean that those simple things save a life. They may seem small, but they work.
Can I take a moment to wish all the constituents of the Northern Metropolitan Region a safe summer and a happy holiday season. I look forward to seeing you and continuing our good works into 2024.
