I'm pleased to inform the House that today we have representatives of Basketball Australia and the Australian Olympic Committee, including five-time Olympian in basketball Lauren Jackson AO and dual Olympian in basketball Tess Madgen.

We've got a delegation from the Municipal Association of Victoria. As part of the delegation, we have Councillor Alex Makin, the mayor of the City of Port Phillip; the mayor of the City of Maribyrnong; the mayor of Murrindindi Shire; and Councillor Jennifer Anderson, the President of the Municipal Association of Victoria.

Sitting in the last row of the gallery right in front of me are, as guests of the member for Mitchell, Jason and Anthea. Jason has battled motor neurone disease for over eight years. He has shown incredible resilience and is one of the longest-living people with MND. They are here at Parliament House today as ambassadors for MND, and I'm proud to promote this important cause.
