Speaker 2
The question is that the bill be read a second time, and I call the member for Gorton.

Speaker 3
Thank you so much, Deputy Speaker.  I rise to speak in support of the Criminal Code Amendment (National Sport Integrity Offences) Bill 2024.  Sport is a huge part of my life.  Growing up, I played netball, volleyball, basketball, hockey.  I loved the athletics carnivals. 

As you can imagine, as the tallest girl in the year, and at one point the tallest girl in the school, I loved high jump and long jump.  Some of my best memories came from being part of a team, working towards a goal and sharing both the wins and the losses with the people around me. 

More recently, I played footy for both the West Footscray Roosters and the Western Spurs.  I know that feel, I know the feeling really well and what it feels like of being part of a team, handballing the ball to your mates, scoring a goal, supporting one another, whatever the challenge.  Like you're part of something bigger than yourself, experiencing the joy, triumphs and failures together as one.  Today, I go for a jog in the mornings, often on Saturday mornings with our local Aintree parkrun community, and I admit slightly less often with our local Brimbank parkrun, but only because of the hill aptly named Big Hill at Brimbank Park.  Parkruns do something truly amazing for local communities.
