I was very proud to attend the State reception the other night. What struck me was how young these girls are. Maybe it is just that I am getting older, but they are ambassadors we should all be proud of. They were absolutely brilliant the other night in what they did, the way they showed themselves, the way they spoke, the way they came up and the way they gave time to politicians. That is not always something that we get. However, when they came up they were representative of all that is good in sport in this country and all that is good with ladies' sports. I wish them the very best in their adventures in Australia. I am sure all the House will support that too.
