Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — I rise today to thank and acknowledge the amazing efforts of the Coogee Beach Club and the Randwick Club for their sponsorship of the new Coogee Surf Life Saving Club Thundercat IRB. The electorate of Coogee is lucky to have some of the best and most widely-visited beached in the world, and as such, they rely on our volunteer and professional surf life savers to ensure that everyone, from locals to tourists, remain safe. This new Thundercat IRB will play a significant role in increasing the rescue readiness of the Coogee Surf Life Saving Club, in what I am sure will be a very challenging summer. This new vehicle, and the work that our surf life savers do is so essential in allowing both locals and visitors to enjoy our wonderful, natural asserts in safety. So to the Randwick Club, the Coogee Beach Club, thank you very much for your donation and ensuring our beaches remain safe this summer, and all of our surf life savers, thank you for the work you will do over this summer!
