Community Recognition: Angie Ballard

Today in Parliament we celebrated the fantastic achievement of Paralympian and Camperdown resident Angie Ballard.

 

Ms JENNY LEONG ( Newtown ) ( 13:29 :03 ): I draw the attention of this Parliament to the fantastic achievement of Paralympian and Camperdown resident Angie Ballard. In September she represented Australia at the Paralympic Games in Rio. Angie competes in wheelchair racing and first represented Australia in 1998. She has competed at Paralympic Games in Sydney, Athens, Beijing, London and now Rio, where she won two individual bronze medals in the 100 metres and 400 metres T53 track events and a silver medal as part of the 4x400 metres relay team. I congratulate Angie on her success, along with all the athletes in the 2016 Australian Paralympic team.
