Ms WARD (Eltham) (13:24): Congratulations, Deputy Speaker.

The Eltham Wildcats and Keilor Thunder had their Pride round in July, which was not only great basketball but a wonderful celebration of our important rainbow community. Thank you to NBL1 player Korinne Campbell, who spoke about the importance of inclusivity in sport as well as acknowledging and celebrating the experiences of the Victorian LGBTIQ community. I also want to extend my thanks to the Eltham Wildcats, especially CEO Connor Amey-Matthews and wellbeing coordinator Sophie Foote, for their leadership and commitment to equality in sport not only in our community but beyond.
