I want to recognise our construction industry in the Northern Territory, particularly those in my electorate of Solomon, in Darwin and Palmerston. I attended the Master Builders NT Members Milestone Dinner earlier this month, where we celebrated Territory businesses with 10 years, 15 years, 30 years and even 40 years of membership with Master Builders NT—'building the Territory'.

I was proud to present certificates for 10 years service building the Territory with Selena Uibo, the leader of the Territory opposition, to Asset Construction and Maintenance, to Fusion NT, to Beare Homes, to McMahon Services, to NC Electrical & Air Conditioning and to Precision Shower Screens & Wardrobes. That was for 10 years. I also want to acknowledge the 15-year milestones to Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education, to Fyfe, to KG7, to Northern Trade Solutions and to Ward Keller. The 30-year milestones were awarded to All Cast NT, DCOH—old mate—and Sunbuild. Finally, the 40-year milestones went to Nowland Builders and Sitzler, that great Territory company.

It was a fantastic atmosphere in the room. I want everyone to know that our construction industry in the Northern Territory is strong and continues to deliver quality jobs and outstanding infrastructure for the Territory. Thank you to all.
