Today I would like to recognise a talented Boothby constituent, Clancy Luscombe, who's part of the Australian swim team heading to the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago. Last week, I met with Clancy and his proud mum, Elizabeth, and presented them with an Australian flag that will accompany Clancy to the Commonwealth Youth Games and will be waved with pride. Clancy told me he also plans to hang the flag across his balcony for all the village to see. Clancy is an active member of the sporting community within Boothby as a member of the Marion Swimming Club.

The seventh Commonwealth Youth Games will take place on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago between 4 and 11 August 2023. Over 1,000 athletes and para-athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 will come together to compete. I wish Clancy the very best of luck. He has done Boothby proud, and we can't wait to see him compete and represent his country and his community. Take note of that name—Clancy Luscombe. I have a feeling we'll be hearing more of him in years to come.
