I would like to take this opportunity to update the chamber on some great news for some young sporting stars in my electorate. Congratulations to all the recipients of the Local Sporting Champions grants in Chisholm. From table tennis through to skiing, the diverse range of sports that Chisholm locals compete in is very impressive. Congratulations to Grace Connell, Adam Stecher, Nicholas Lum, Bailey Wallace, Amelie Holah, Mia Holah and Finnegan Castor. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and volunteers who sacrifice a great deal to support these young athletes. As a parent, I know how hard it is with the early morning drives across the state on weekends so your child can attend their sporting events. The children's success would not be possible without your dedication, so thank you for all you do. Finally, if you're aged between 12 and 18 and participate at a state, national or international level, the current round of Local Sporting Champions grants closes on 31 December. You could receive up to $750 to put towards the cost of attending your championship event.
