Honourable Julia Gillard MP for Lalor
My love of footy stems from my love of the west.
The best part of being a local member of parliament in Western Melbourne is that I am able to regularly indulge my passion for Aussie Rules football from the grassroots up.
From barracking for the Werribee Tigers at Chirnside Park; to being a proud patron of WRFL Women’s Football Foundation along with local football teams - it is always a pleasure to actively encourage and promote football amongst our community.
The WRFL is in the heartland of the people I represent and I know how important your club is to you and your family.
I want to encourage you to continue to support your club because we all know great players like Brad Johnson came from Hoppers Crossing, Callan Ward from Spotswood and of course the great Doug Hawkins and EJ from Braybrook.
Football like politics is all about people, enjoy the experience, respect your opponent and savour the good times and bad times because we learn from them all.
But most importantly have FUN.
All the Best
Julia Gillard
