Softball was at Knox.

Squash was at Albert Park.

But back in the day, you got to go to one event a year, a world championship.

Um, so the only...

the just one slight correction, um, while some of Dandenong is in the seat I'm going for, it's the seat of Mulgrave, which goes from Wheelers Hill, parts of Dandenong, all the way down to Springvale.

The seat of Dandenong is the next one over.

Minor, don't worry about that.

There are things wrong with, um, starving our maintenance for our roads, so we get potholes where someone gets killed.

I mean, I, I took a video...

I, I was given a video today of a pothole on Springvale Road running into the seat of Mulgrave, a big pothole.
