I join with the member for Lalor—and, I'm sure, all members of the House—in acknowledging the extraordinary performance by the Diamonds. Beating England is particularly satisfying. The Diamonds won 61-45 to once again win the Netball World Cup in South Africa. We all know that diamonds are formed under pressure. What you get at the end of the process is the toughest gem, and that's exactly what the Diamonds have been. They are world beaters and absolute inspirations. Congratulations to their captain, Liz Watson, and the entire team!
