Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL

Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (13:35): Last week I travelled to Sydney to join several of my colleagues at the 67th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference. The CPA is a group of parliamentarians and parliamentary staff from Commonwealth countries who come together to share experiences and learn new skills to promote parliamentary democracy and deliver good governance throughout the Commonwealth. I was proud of my fellow colleague Michael Galea, who represented our great state as the designated delegate from Victoria. Mr Galea delivered a wonderful speech at a workshop and showed the delegates from all over the world the robust professionalism of the Victorian Parliament.
