Today I would like to acknowledge an exceptional member of the Chisholm community, Rex Kuo, and the business he co-founded, Orbitkey. Orbitkey produces organisers that prevent your keys from cluttering your pockets and scratching your belongings. In 2013, Rex introduced his idea to the world, not with any big business backing but on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. There, he and his business partners were able to secure more than 5,000 backers to their campaign in under 30 days. Following this, they spent the next four months building the business that became Orbitkey. Now Orbitkey organisers can be found in stores across Australia, and Orbitkey has also expanded into selling desk organisers and mats. Rex's story catches that of the Australian spirit—someone who, through hard work and ingenuity, has been able to take a business from an idea to reality. I'm delighted to say that his business is creating good local jobs in Chisholm. Rex, I commend you and all that you and your businesses have achieved.
