Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Energy and Environment) (18:30): I congratulate year 6 Asquith Public School student Harper Enasio, who represented the school at the recent under‑11s State Rugby League Carnival. He captained the Sydney North Team, which finished third, and he was selected to join the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association squad. A squad of 34 boys took part in a five-day camp at Narrabeen Sports High School and Harper, who plays halfback, made the final squad of 17. Harper is the only 11‑year‑old to be selected in the team and will play for New South Wales in the National Primary School Carnival, which will be held in Brisbane. Congratulations, Harper, I know your school is very proud of you and I am certain this will not be the last time we hear your name. Harper is one of the most outstanding emerging rugby league talents, and he comes from the Hornsby shire. We do not have our own team. I want to bring back the Bears so Harper has a pathway through a local sporting club. Every National Rugby League [NRL] team will compete to pick up Harper in the future. You watch this space, he will be playing State of Origin. Harper, we cannot wait to see how far you go.
Matt is your local member for Hornsby
