I would like to commend the Mornington Peninsula community for its efforts on the weekend. There was a difficult football championship, respecting the death of a very loved member, John McCarthy. To all of those who participated in the local footy competition with heavy hearts, I congratulate them on their dignity and their best wishes to Johnny's family.

I thank the member for Dunkley, and I know a lot of Victorians are mourning the loss of a rather decent young man, by all accounts.
