"It's always a pleasure to engage with our future leaders and share insights into life in the Federal Parliament, leadership, and my role in Gippsland. The students were keen to learn more about how to invoke change and asked some insightful questions about key local issues. They even sent me off with some homework to do, presenting me with a large envelope of letters to read about building a pump track in Rosedale," Mr Chester said.
