I commend the WA telethon, which raised $62 million. That's a record amount raised by the WA telethon. The Commonwealth was obviously pleased to provide $5 million to the WA telethon. More than $400 million has been raised by the WA telethon over its history. Congratulations to all those who participated. I'm sure the Leader of the Opposition would join me in congratulating them.

I join with the Prime Minister in congratulating all those involved in the WA telethon, including, of course, the West Australian newspaper and Kerry Stokes, who always makes a major contribution, and the Mark McGowan government, which donated $10 million. I know that all of the members on this side and, I'm sure, on that side as well were very supportive of the telethon, which has become an institution in WA.
