In the electorate of Wright it's showtime. Every agricultural show—and there are eight across the electorate—has been planned. There is no greater show on earth. Tamborine Mountain has already had its show. You can measure the success of any of our shows by the vibrancy of each of those communities. Volunteers roll out—they're a massive force—to help our local producers show what they make in their paddocks. They build attractions that bring thousands upon thousands of visitors from across the south-east corner to my electorate. It is an opportunity for businesses, mums and dads, and families to come together and meet in a happy environment.

The Boonah show is on from 2 to 3 June. It's one of the more spectacular shows during the day when it comes to produce. The Kalbar show, from the 23rd to the 24th, has a wonderful evening rodeo. The Mudgeeraba show is from 24 to 25 June. The Laidley show, from the 7th to the 9th, is one of the most spectacular night events. The Gatton show is probably the largest of all the shows in my electorate. It's one not to be missed. It's from 20 to 22 July. The Canungra show is on 26 August. It wraps up with the Beaudesert show on 8 and 9 September.
