Parliament in the pink

THE gardens of Parliament House were planted with a Mini-Field of Women on Monday thanks to a team of pink ladies from the City of Casey.
The pink tribute to those affected by breast cancer helped raise $1000 for Breast Cancer Network Australia as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
State Labor Member for Narre Warren South Judith Graley was accompanied by her team of pink ladies, Nichole Hayes, Kym Frost, Caitlyn Slade, Therese Howell, Tracey Ryan, Melinda Anderson and Poly Van Kroning.
“Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month these wonderful women, all of whom live in my electorate, have gone above and beyond to do what they can to support those affected by breast cancer,” Ms Graley said.
The string quartet from Nossal High School featuring Joanna An, Roland Cheing, George Lim and Kathy Nguyen joined the women.
Also among the gardens was Breast Cancer Network Australia Chief Executive Officer the Hon Maxine Morand and other Members of Parliament including State Premier Denis Napthine and Leader of the Opposition Daniel Andrews.
“To see so many of my colleagues out and proud in pink to support Breast Cancer Network Australia was truly a sight to behold,” Ms Graley said.
“Thankyou ladies and to everyone who came out today to turn Parliament House pink for a day.”
