Hey guys,
Thought I'd put this here as it seems most relevant to this thread.
I am currently in Canberra attending the National Student Leadership Forum where I have had the opportunity to talk with the likes of Malcolm Turnball and Bill Shorten in a Q&A type discussion surrounding current issues and relating that back to leadership.
Part of our trip to Parliament House today involved watching the pollies go at it during Question time, as well as the opportunity to sit down and talk with an MP. Our group had the chance to talk with Minister for Sport, Health and Aged Care, the Hon. Sussan Ley, which was really quite fascinating (especially with the happenings in Parliament today which were very unique - witnessing members scramble around to vote etc.)
Anyway, after a formal sit down and having asked her a decent question, we had a photo and she engaged us with some casual chat. I could not help myself but explain the situation of my beloved Lions and what she could do to help my once great team in her role as Minister for Sport. She told me she was a Swans fan, which I said something to the affect of "so you know the problems our frontier clubs face in a northern market." She told me that this issue interested her and that she would look into the Lion's situation! Haha!
So there you have it, any Federal announcement re: funding for our training and admin facilities can be directly attributed to me.
