I rise to inform the House of a significant fundraiser being run in New South Wales and Queensland. In the true spirit of State of Origin, the two states have joined together to raise desperately needed funds for flood victims in parts of my electorate. The two states are having a 'pie of origin' with the Old Fernvale Bakery Cafe in the Brisbane Valley, owned by Bill Rose and renowned as one of the best pie shops in Queensland, having a 'pie-off' against Rob Pirina of Glenorie Bakery in New South Wales. These guys will be selling their pies, and for every sale $2 will go towards charity for the Queensland flood victims. All good Queenslanders and tourists know where this bakery is, so take the time to find it. If you do not know where it is, it is west of Brisbane. I encourage all good Queenslanders to get behind and support Queensland.

The winner of the competition between the New South Wales bakery and the Queensland bakery will obviously be whoever sells the most pies and whoever raises the most money. I am sure we will hear during the proceedings from the member for Berowra, the father of the House, who will speak on behalf of the New South Wales bakery. It is a true testament to the spirit of Queensland to support functions like these.
