There's a lot of bad news in the world. There are a lot of things in this place that we can't agree on or don't agree on, but there is one thing that we do agree on. I'm co-chair of the 'parliamentary friends of the Collingwood Football Club'—Go the Pies!—and I've got my colleague Aaron Violi and the member for Aston, who's a co-chair, here as well. Congratulations to Craig McRae, the coach, for a wonderful year; Darcy Moore, the captain; and all the Collingwood players as a team. It was a marvellous day at the MCG, with Bobby Hill; the goal by Jordan de Goey to get us back in front; and Nick Daicos. It was a beautiful day for Collingwood supporters and for neutral supporters around the country. We all agree on this: we love our football. Congratulations, Collingwood Football Club. Over to you, member for Casey.

Thank you, member for Wills, for the opportunity to join you in bipartisan support for the Collingwood Football Club. Congratulations to the president, Jeff Browne; CEO, Craig Kelly; coach, Craig McRae; and captain, Darcy Moore. It was a wonderful result on that Saturday. It was a great game and I'm glad to be co-chair, with the member for Wills, and to see Collingwood get up. It was a great opportunity for families to come together and celebrate. I will finish by giving a shout-out to my uncle Sam. I know he enjoyed the day; he was the man that got me in love with the Collingwood Football Club. It was a great day. As the member for Wills said, there's a lot we can't agree on but we can definitely agree on how great the Collingwood Football Club being premiers for 2023 is.
