Today I rise to pay tribute to a wonderful part of our community, to those in the suburb of Oxenford. Recently, I visited the Oxenford Men's Shed, where I caught up with President Keith Ward and Secretary Les Chapman. I provided them with a cheque for a grant of $3,500 to support their volunteers. That will help with tools, programs and safety. It was also great to catch up with John Spieker, Barry Watling, Taz Kendrick, Graeme Cook, Max Sutherland, Brian Sore, Tony Down, Michael Williams and Robert Loftus. Of course, it's worthwhile to reflect on the great work that the men's sheds do to provide a safe place for older men and to help them with their mental health.

Additionally, last Saturday night I was fortunate enough to have a daddy-daughter night with my daughter, Clementine. We visited the Oxenford State School to watch a performance of Aladdin. It was a great night and a huge credit to Principal Brendan Creighton and Deputy Principal Kristin Tembaro. There was wonderful support from the P&C, from Melanie Pearson, Angela Geddes, Ava Abbott and Christine New. I want to give a special shout-out to Miss Price and the crew of volunteers who set up all the gear and painted all the backdrops, and to the students who did an incredible job in putting on a performance they should be very proud of.
