Can I note the groans from Labor on the other side. This is actually a really important issue, and I think those people in the community would be devastated to hear about the fact that those on the other side do not even care about the great work that these clubs are doing. I would say well done to the Hobart Chargers basketball club, the Redlands Tigers Cricket Club, Bowls South Australia, the Blacktown Spartans PCYC junior Rugby League club, and Matt Burgess from the Knights Cricket Club. I am sure quite a number of those are in the electorates of senators opposite, and I am sure they would be very disappointed to know that they were not engaged.

But I would particularly like to acknowledge the Club of the Year, the Sunshine Heights Cricket Club in Victoria. I particularly want to congratulate two children, 10- and 11-year-old Leo and Nybol. They are the absolute future of those communities of those clubs, and they are so delighted to be working with those clubs in that environment. (Time expired)
