I recognise Collaroy Tennis Club for hosting its inaugural Pride in Sport event last Saturday. This was a brilliant celebration of inclusion, community and equality. It was awesome to join in and see the Collaroy courts alive with colour, friendly—sometimes fierce—competition and genuine community connection. It takes a special club to actively welcome players of all backgrounds to show that tennis is for everyone. I thank David Keogh and Vito Cincinnato for their leadership in bringing this awesome event to life. Their passion for creating safe and welcoming spaces is sincere, and it is what community sport is absolutely all about. It was especially meaningful to see the event raise funds for Lifeline Northern Beaches, an organisation doing vital work to support mental health and suicide prevention in our region. It was also good to see local legends Layne Beachley, who is a mate of mine and turns out can play tennis, and Kirk Pengilly, who cannot play tennis, join in the fun and show their support. I congratulate everybody involved in this wonderful initiative. I hope this event becomes a regular fixture on our northern beaches calendar.
