Can I firstly thank you, Mr Speaker, for the leadership role you've taken in taking the parliament to youth of Australia and, particularly, to schools. This is testament to a legacy you'll leave as a Speaker of this parliament in making sure that young people are engaged with this parliament. So thank you to you, Mr Speaker, first. I don't think there's been enough acknowledgement of that.

To Jett and to his family: you are a credit to your family and to our part of Maranoa. Jett and his family only moved to Maranoa a couple of years ago. To be able to understand how important food is, how it's produced—how farmers produce it and all the costs that they put into it—and then, if it doesn't look perfect, that they get nothing for it when it tastes the same is a great message to come from a young man with a great future. It's great to see someone from Maranoa might make it to the top one day. Well done.
