(a) important role played by Meals On Wheels organisations throughout Australia in delivering nutritious meals for frail aged and disabled Australians; and

(b) role played by volunteers in preparing and delivering meals;

(2) notes that Meals on Wheels volunteers provide the only social contact to many house bound elderly and disabled Australians; and
