I rise to thank all of those members, and you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for supporting the ovarian cancer fundraising campaign I ran through this parliament, and the morning tea I had in Shortland electorate. It was a very successful event, and we had a great morning into the bargain. We had outstanding speakers. The wonderful Carolyn Bear was a great help. In total we sold in excess of $3,000 worth of bracelets and we raised around $5,000. It is a really great cause. Among the speakers were ovarian cancer voluntary ambassador Rose Molloy and Catherine Adams, a health professional. A psychologist, also came along to speak to us. We had in excess of 150 women there. Uproar Ladies Fashions put on a fashion parade and 10 per cent of the sales they had following the morning tea were donated for ovarian cancer. I thank everybody who was involved on the day.
