I rise today to update the House on some grants that have been awarded under the Centenary of Anzac Local Grants Program. The Moil Primary School will receive a grant of $5,000 so that they can produce a production called From Darwin to Dardanelles. The Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia Northern Territory Branch will receive a grant of $3,357 to assist them to rollout a program sharing Anzac history with the students in Solomon.    Girl Guides NT will receive a grant of $1,715 to construct an Anzac Centenary memorial garden at the Girl Guide NT headquarters in Parap. Darwin High School will receive a grant of $5,000 to assist them with a special Anzac function, saluting the silent service. The Darwin RSL will receive $50,000 to contribute towards a documentary about the Albert Borella Ride, which was jointly put on by the Northern Territory government and the federal government. Albert Borella is the Northern Territory's only Victoria Cross recipient. His son, Rowan, was accompanied by his wife, Mary, and they were on the ride. (Time expired)
