00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Dear Jones In Amanda, my son, Lachlan, who's only ten

7
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: years old, is your littlest biggest fan. Because of Lachlan,

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: our whole family went to see your live show last year.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: I remember meeting them. We always listened to Wsfair and

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: he counts the song so we know when to call

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: for competitions. Lachlan is the middle of my three children

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: and happens to have Down syndrome, and today, Thursday, the

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: twenty first of March, is well Down Syndrome Day. I

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: was hoping you might be able to give him a

15
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: shout out Hello Lachlan. She said. I once had another

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: mother of a Down syndrome child complain to me how

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: people thought kids with Down syndrome are always happy. I

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: don't mind that comment, because Lachlan is always happy. He's smart,

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: he's cheeky, he's very friendly. I remember that from when

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: we met him. He's achieved a B grade certificate for

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: his preliminary AMEB piano exam. He has a green belting karate,

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: he works extra hard for his achievements, goes to a

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: main stream school, and his life is not without obstacles,

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: but we advocate for his inclusion because everyone deserves to

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: be included and we know how he will one day

26
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: change the world.

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: That's nice.

28
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: He absolutely adores both of you and randomly throws WSFM

29
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: and Jones in Amanda into conversations, and for some reason

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,119
