  On 19 September I attended a very interesting forum at the Panania Anglican Church in my electorate. I met with parishioners and we discussed a wide range of very important cultural, social and economic issues and a whole range of other matters. I want to thank Reverend David Milne for organising this evening. It was, as I say, a very wide-ranging and in many ways fascinating discussion with the parishioners on these different topics.

Panini Anglican Church is one of the largest church groups in my area, and under the leadership of Reverend Milne it plays a very important role in our community. The church offers classes across a range of areas. It has a very active ladies guild and runs craft and growth groups, which allow people to interact and learn and get to know others in the local area in a comfortable and accepting environment. It also has similar services for kids, running a very popular creche for preschool children. To Reverend Milne and everyone who was there on 19 September, thank you very much for the invitation—I enjoyed the evening and discussion and very much and look forward to a similar event in the future.
