I rise to put on the record two wonderful events that have happened locally regarding surf-lifesaving in the seat of Robertson. The state titles for New South Wales Surf Life Saving were held at Umina Beach. Very sadly, the weather came in and rained on the parade of our juniors. The adaptability of Bill Cook and his team was amazing as they shifted the event to Terrigal, and many, many young people from around the state had a wonderful time regardless. I was also very pleased to open $200,000 worth of renovations and extensions to the deck at that particular surf-lifesaving club, and there was $150,000 from this federal government for the MacMasters Beach Surf Life Saving Club. It was a very good investment in a great agency locally.
