Dan Tehan (Wannon, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) | Hansard source

giving your first speech or, as the member for Riverina has said, representing the great electorate of Wannon. So please enter. It's funny and it's great that the member for Riverina is here in the House as well, because it wasn't so long ago that I was in this chamber giving my first speech. I've got to say it was one of the great honours of my life. It's one of the great chambers of any parliament in the world, this chamber. So to every young person in Wannon who aspires to maybe one day make a contribution in local government, state government or federal parliament: please think about entering the My First Speech competition because it is well worth it. It's a very well run competition, and you can have a lot of fun with your fellow students if you do enter. So make sure you give it a go.
