of fame, was also inducted into the Softball Australia Hall of Fame. It was terrific to see these inductions in front of this ACT home crowd. In addition to acknowledging the achievements of these great individuals, the Aussie Steelers were also inducted into the softball hall of fame. All in all, it was a very successful competition, and I would just like to offer my congratulations to Softball Australia and to Softball ACT on a competition very well run.

One of the final events of the weekend was something that also needs a lot of commendation—that is, an organised symposium which looked at children’s bilingual opportunities within families. It was a symposium organised by Dr Mandy Scott and Mr Sam Wong. It certainly showed the talent that is available within our multicultural communities, which are growing in very interesting ways, by bringing together those communities where the bilingual issues that concern all of us were very much brought to the forefront. A lot of young people contributed to this symposium, so I would like to offer them my congratulations as well on an event very well run.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 9.31 pm.
