I rise to wish the Australian quadball, aka quidditch, team all the best in the upcoming world cup in America this year. I had the pleasure of attending the Victorian quadball fantasy tournament at Fawkner Park over the weekend, where I got to meet some of the national team players, nicknamed the Dropbears, and I got to watch a game of this fast-paced contact sport, where players wear mouthguards. I might add it is a very inclusive sport for all genders and people who are gender diverse. I am told we are in contention for a medal, with the USA and Germany our closest rivals, so go Dropbears!
