On Saturday night, 2 September, I was privileged to attend a fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Holdfast Bay. The aim of the evening was to raise funds for the eradication of landmines around the world. It was an absolute pleasure and honour for me to be there. In attendance as guest speaker was the member for Cowan, Graham Edwards, who knows only too well the effects of landmines. The Rotary Club of Holdfast Bay have been tremendous in raising funds over the years with this annual dinner. This year’s dinner was bigger than last year’s, and they are certainly raising funds for a very worthwhile cause. The effects of landmines on postwar communities cannot be underestimated.
