I table a document headed, 'Member for Hume—six projects', outlining commitments made by the member for Hume in his electorate totalling $18.1 million, including $7.5 million to the Macarthur Bulls Regional Football Facility; $5.8 million to the Leppington Oval precinct; $4.5 million to the Camden sport and recreation package; $200,000 to the 1st Appin Scout Group—a group in which he's announced he holds an honorary membership, which I understand is not on his register of interests; $200,000 to the Wayne Gardner Oval; and $85,000 to the Wollondilly Community Leisure Centre upgrades.

I also table a document headed 'Member for Moncrieff—nine projects', announced at the election, including commitments of funding to the Broadbeach Cats facilities; the Mudgeeraba Nerang Cricket Club; the Griffith University Knights Rugby Club; the Surfers Paradise Rugby Union Club—a club of which she is listed on the website as a patron, although I understand that is not declared on her register of interests; and a range of other commitments.

I also table a document headed 'Member for Barker—seven projects', totalling $8.9 million—a range of projects including the Mount Gambier and District Saleyards Transformation Project; lighting at Sturt Reserve Murray Bridge; the Murray Bridge Players and Singers redevelopment; the Mount Burr netball courts; the Tailem Bend RSL renovations; the Penola Bowling Club redevelopment; and the Kapunda Soldiers Memorial Gardens rejuvenation.

Not to be outdone, I table a document headed 'Member for Wannon—23 projects', totalling $26.3 million—hey, big spender! That includes $7.65 million for his seat to the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club; $3.3 million to the Elliminyt Recreation Reserve redevelopment; $2.35 million to the Skipton Community and Recreation Reserve; $1.82 million to the Cavendish Football Netball Club; $1.5 million to the Port Fairy Football Netball Club; $1.45 million to the Cobden Recreation Reserve redevelopment; and so much more.
