I am pleased to announce that Christmas in Liverpool has not been cancelled this year. In fact, there is a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm for all things Christmas, particularly among primary school students in Liverpool. The enthusiasm was so high that I received over 400 entries to my inaugural Liverpool Christmas Card Competition. The creativity and Christmas spirit in our young talent is strong, focusing on themes such as Christmas in Australia, Christmas for everyone and Christmas in the best community in the world. I am grateful to the Liverpool Youth Action Group for helping me with the difficult job of picking winners and runners-up. I congratulate Aidah from Marsden Road Public School for winning the competition, and Maryana from Green Valley Public School, Zoffany from Bonnyrigg Heights Primary School, Dilan from Heckenberg Public School and Alegria from Gulyangarri Public School, who were the joint runners-up. I will be so proud to share their entries with my colleagues in this place, as well as with the rest of our community.
