I want to highlight a number of important events that I was able to participate in, marking the contributions of so many Australians in armed services. It was terrific to join with Minister Matt Keogh to meet with veterans and their representatives in East Malvern RSL and Waverley RSL. I want to thank everybody who welcomed us, shared coffee and shared lunch with the minister and me. It was a really important conversation that we shared, and I am deeply appreciative of the experiences that people shared with the minister and me.

It was also, of course, an enormous privilege to attend moving Remembrance Day services on 11 November. I laid a wreath and attended two events in my local electorate in East Malvern and at the Waverley RSL. I want to thank all of those who were involved in putting these really important events together. There was great support demonstrated for local community groups and the observance of a minute's silence to demonstrate respect for the service and sacrifice of so many in our community over the years.

I want to thank the President of the Waverley RSL, Neil Slaughter, and the President of the East Malvern RSL, Geoff Tobin, for their hosting and facilitation of these events. I acknowledge the generosity and warmth of community that they foster. Know that I will always support the work of local RSLs in my community.
