Thank you, Senator McGauran. We fought very hard for it. It provides not only a national focus for Tamworth and the livestock industry but an international focus. Long after we as politicians and senators are dead and gone this will provide jobs and opportunities for many Australians in a vital lifeblood industry to Australia. There was $300,000-odd for the Glen Innes Learning Centre to provide opportunities for higher education to a large provincial town. There was the Mungindi Rural Transaction Centre. I do not know if any of you have been to Mungindi.
