Today, on behalf of Parade College Bundoora, I present a Make Poverty History banner. The banner is 13 metres long. This has been organised by the winner of their Community Action Award last year, Mervin Ng, who is a VCE student. About doing this project, Mervin said:

As such Parade College joined the global community and its commitment to honouring the Millennium Goals to Make Poverty History.

I congratulate Mervin and the school community. It has 1,500 signatures from 1,400 students and 100 staff. I seek leave of the House to table the banner as a document.

Leave granted.

I thank the House. I congratulate Parade. This initiative, alongside their community action and social justice programs, is an example to the people of Australia of the commitment we can make to projects such as Make Poverty History.
