While the blue light disco days might be over, Blue Light's mission is still making waves in our community. I recently saw the Blue Light youth program in action at Creekside College in Caroline Springs. This powerful initiative gives secondary students hands-on experiences with police and emergency services, fostering trust, open communication and a sense of belonging. That confidence, resilience and strong sense of community is essential to keeping the future of our youth and our community bright. Thank you to Principal Peter Dalinkiewicz, Elissa and Caroline from Blue Light, and the police at the Caroline Springs Police Station for all that you do to keep our communities and youth safe.

Congratulations to the Green Gully Soccer Club on their 70 year anniversary. In 1955, Maltese migrants saw a need in our community and they provided, with one of the strongest clubs in the National Premier League in Victoria, right in the heart of Keilor Downs. I always love going to the Green Gully Reserve to support your games and grabbing a pastizz from the canteen. Green Gully's success comes from the committed members and volunteers who work hard week in and week out. Shoutout to Anthony, Raymond, Bianca and the rest of the executive team.

I also acknowledge the late Harry Moaks OAM, Paul Azzopardi and Frank Kolbi. Their legacy will never be forgotten. Up the gully!
