CHARLESTOWN ELECTORATE ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATIONS
Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown) (20:04): Many in the Charlestown electorate chose to Light Up the Dawn and pay their respects to our diggers on Anzac Day if they could not attend a service in person. I attended a Friday Anzac service at Charlestown Alesco Senior College, run by the students and emceed by Lateisha Jones. Myja Hicks and Lola Donohue spoke admirably. I also attended the dawn service at Cardiff RSL. I acknowledge the hardworking people who organised that beautiful and solemn event. Finally, I recognise the memorial service at Charlestown Lions Park, organised by Club Charlestown and the Charlestown Lions Club, where I heard an impressive and moving speech given by Ally Hunt, one of Whitebridge High School's 2021 captains. I once again pay my respects to all men and women from the Charlestown electorate who have served or continue to serve our country. Lest we forget.
A Community Recognition Statement is an opportunity for an MP to give a short speech praising the work of an individual or group in the local community. If you have any ideas about people I can recognise with a Community Recognition Statement, please email and let me know!
