I acknowledge the hard work of Senator Williams in regional New South Wales. He does a fantastic job. The Coffs Harbour RSL has benefited from over $24,000 for displays and commemorative events around Anzac Day next year. There will be a military tattoo at the Camden Show in 2015. At the Casula High School in Werriwa they will construct a new memorial, and at Thirroul war memorial $3,600 will be spent replacing pavers.

There will also be $37,000 spent re-enacting the Kangaroo march—the recruitment march that went from Wagga Wagga to Campbelltown in 1915. Senator Williams will be pleased to know that the Tenterfield Show Society has been granted $1,500 to advertise events for the show next February, which will focus on the Centenary of Anzac.

In the electorate of Parkes, more than $37,000 worth of applications have been approved— (Time expired)
