I would like to congratulate a Jack Seabourne, a young athlete in my electorate who was recently nominated for the Examiner's junior sports award. Jack is a passionate young boxer. He is 14 years of age and has already represented Tasmania in junior basketball, football and athletics, but boxing remains his passion. This year at the Australian boxing titles in December Jack will represent Tasmania. It is fantastic to see such a great athlete. Jack is coached by Graeme George, who is Daniel Geale's former coach. Graeme George says that Jack has the most potential of any Tasmanian boxer he has seen and that he is a champion in the making. He recommends him as a top athlete in his sport of boxing.
