Charles Cameron Kingston, the man my seat is named after, was secretary and president of the club while Premier of South Australia and Attorney-General. In 1995, the club moved to its current home at Noarlunga Downs where it has played an important role in our local community. The club is not only committed to elite football but also supports the local amateur leagues and junior leagues. In addition, the club has supported the most disadvantaged in our community, through its Man Made program. This program matches young men and boys in our community who have no male father figure, with senior players from the club becoming their mentor. I wish South Adelaide Football Club the very best in their upcoming semifinal. I have no doubt that they will do South Adelaide proud. The supporters, the club and everyone else are extremely excited about the prospect of making the grand final. As the Premier of South Australia would say, and has regularly been quoted as saying, 'Go Panthers!'
