Remembrance Day

Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:42): Like many Victorians and many in this chamber, I had the privilege of attending a Remembrance Day service, and it was my privilege to represent the people and community of Box Hill at the Box Hill RSL and the cenotaph in Box Hill Gardens. We were delighted to have pipers and a bugler, and we had a flyover of aeroplanes. I just deeply want to congratulate the Box Hill RSL and president John Haward for the incredible work they do for veterans every year. I would also like to make mention of a remarkable speech that the federal member for Menzies Keith Wolahan made to those who assembled at the RSL afterwards. I recommend people look that up online.
