Ms HAMMOND (Curtin) (13:46): Summers on the Curtin coastline, stretching from Cottesloe to Scarborough, are idyllic, the stuff of poetry. Thousands of people from all over the world relax on the white sand, eating ice creams and fish and chips or having barbecues at sunset. They swim in the incredible blue waters and surf the waves when the swell is right. We in Curtin are very lucky that, over the summer months, we have over 1,900 volunteers patrolling our beaches for an extraordinary 41,000 patrolling hours. These volunteers belong to the six fantastic surf lifesaving clubs in Curtin: Cottesloe, North Cottesloe, Swanbourne Nedlands, City of Perth at City Beach, Floreat and Scarboro. As we approach the start of the patrolling season and the busy summer months, I want to acknowledge that our surf clubs and their members are a vital part of the fabric of our community. They provide advice and take preventive action to keep beachgoers safe. They provide first aid and deliver beach education programs. However, there is always more that we can do to keep people safe on our beaches. In 2018-19, there were 122 coastal and ocean drowning deaths in Australia, with 15 occurring in WA. We all know the multiplier effect: for every one of those 15 people, there are countless friends and families who suffer. So let's stick with the plan from the SLSA this year: Stop, look and plan. Thank you, Surf Lifesaving, especially the clubs in my electorate.
