I've still got a minute, Deputy Speaker! Greg and Ros Boscato are better known as the Hawkesbury Jaffas, a name derived from their original orange rally car, used to raise funds for the KidzFix Foundation. The foundation is made up of passionate individuals who run on a shoestring and raise money to improve the lives of sick kids. The linchpin is an eight-day car rally in September, this year from Ballina to Dubbo, where I am told dust and dirt are the order of the day for the new 'Maltese Falcon'. On Saturday night, Ros and Greg held their annual trivia night at Richmond Golf Club, and I have to say I think I had a bit of a head start in the photo round, with shots of Paul Keating, Peter Garrett and Tanya Plibersek, not to mention the man my electorate is named for, Lachlan Macquarie. Congratulations to a Hawkesbury couple who are single-handedly making a difference.
