I would like to pay tribute to all the wonderful volunteers who staff and man the men's sheds not only in my electorate of Ryan but around Australia. I went to the open house at the Kenmore men's shed on Saturday and it is wonderful the amount of work they are doing, the number of people they have involved. In fact, they are hosting many other men's sheds in my area because of the success of theirs. I congratulate them not just in Ryan but across Queensland and Australia. The woodwork itself is wonderful and I do thank those who reconstructed my letterbox after it was blown up. I was delighted to be able to buy a rocking horse for my new granddaughter. It was a wonderful day and congratulations to everyone involved.
