Andrew Broad (Mallee, National Party) Share this | Hansard source

One of the great parts of my job is getting out, not just to inland cities but to the country towns. Recently I was in the township of Sea Lake. At Sea Lake I caught up with the Sea Lake Preschool. The students said that at Sea Lake has very good playgrounds and good backyards so we can have pets if we live in Sea Lake. At Sea Lake, they have the Mallee Rally. They have a great swimming pool. They have good houses with fun toys, bush kinda at the green lake and they have a great supermarket.

I want to put on the record that they want the parliament to do some things for them in Sea Lake. They want lots of parties with their friends—that's very important. In Sea Lake they want a giant, enormous toy store. They want more people to visit Sea Lake. I tell you what, if we get a giant, enormous—ginormous—toy store, more people will come to Sea Lake. They want a swing, and I've already talked to the local council—advocating for the things that matter—so that they can have a swing in Sea Lake. The pre-schoolers said they want more places to walk their dogs and they want a vegetable shop. When we encourage our young pre-schoolers to get involved in democracy, when they come and see their local member, we get a better government; we get a better Australia. Come to Sea Lake; the people are passionate. Come and visit their giant, enormous—ginormous—toy store when we deliver it. (Time expired)
