NRL Friends of Rugby League

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:10): This morning we welcomed the NRL Friends of Rugby League from the south-east to Parliament for breakfast. They are polite, talented and motivated young men and women. Many come through the I Am program and the Waka program, and they are the Ivy League hopefuls for the future of Melbourne Storm. It was wonderful to see so many coming from Māori and Pacific Islands backgrounds and to see their connection to culture. I am so grateful to have them in the south-east.
