Mr Chester said, "While they listened respectfully to me talk about the different levels of government, my role in the Federal Parliament, and similar topics, they were keen to know if I could help them get funding for their failing basketball court,"

"With a few budding politicians in the group, I had to be on my toes to answer this and many other questions. Visiting schools across Gippsland is always a pleasure and is an excellent opportunity to engage with our future leaders," Mr Chester said.
