I rise to recognise that November is Movember. This is a month when Australians across the country grow a mo, move more or start conversations to change the face of men's health. Movember began here in Australia and has grown into a global movement funding programs in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Hundreds of projects are supported worldwide. To date, they've raised around $1.8 billion in their 23 years. Behind the moustaches are serious issues. Too many men still die too young from preventable cancers, and too many families know the pain of losing a father, a brother or a mate to suicide. A big 'thankyou' to all the blokes out there growing mos and raising funds. I encourage everyone to chip in and support them.

I recently had the privilege of attending a number of school awards and presentation evenings across my electorate at the northern end of the Gold Coast. These events showcase the hard work of students, the dedication of teachers and staff and the support of parents and carers right across our communities. I want to recognise Chelsea Cox from Pimpama State Secondary College, Charlotte Tattersall from Pacific Pines State High School, Maya Nunn from Pacific Pines State High School, James Nguyen from Coombabah State High School, Eva Pager from St Joseph's College Coomera and Preston Williams from A.B. Paterson College. I presented all these students with the Cameron Caldwell MP Leadership Award. This is well deserved recognition for their great year.
