Yesterday I had the great pleasure of visiting Nic and Carmela at Cerrone Jewellers in Leichhardt. Cerrone Jewellers is producing some of the best jewellery in the world, right here in the Inner West. This successful business is part of the great Australian migrant story, here in Leichhardt, in the heart of the Italian community. I am very proud that this award-winning local business is in the electorate of Grayndler.

This story showcases the talent and skills here in Grayndler that are made possible through our important TAFE and apprenticeship programs. Inner West local Greg was trained at Enmore TAFE and is now responsible for producing some of the remarkable pieces at Cerrone Jewellers. He is an exemplar of the need for greater access to VET pathways and a place to work.

I have spoken often during the campaign about a Future Made in Australia. Particularly, about ways in which we take our resources, value-add and then export to the world, as well as for domestic consumption. This is a great example of taking Australia's natural resources, our diamonds and other gems, our gold, silver, our extraordinary natural assets, producing something that is unique and beautiful and creating jobs at the same time. I am always delighted to see what our Grayndler community is producing and to talk about a Future Made in the Inner West.
