Happy Birthday James!
Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)
—Speaker, I rise today to wish my son, James, a very happy 11th birthday! It was wonderful to spend this past weekend celebrating his special day with my family. He is very smart, a loyal friend to his mates, incredibly kind and also, very cheeky. James has a huge passion for soccer and has been lucky enough to play games all across New South Wales this year. He is a very talented player, and who knows—maybe one day, we will see him running out for Sydney FC. Outside of soccer, James loves gaming with his mates and is quickly becoming a bit of a foodie—he has officially graduated from kids' meals to ordering steak and seafood when we go out for dinner! James, I am so proud of the man that you are becoming and the way you have continued to care for your mum and brother. I look forward to watching you grow, especially as you go off to high school next year. Happy Birthday James – we love you mate!
