I rise to offer a bouquet to Surf Life Saving Tasmania for their wonderful work in organising schools and school-age children with disabilities, taking them to surf beaches during last summer. They were awarded recognition at the Tasmanian Institute of Sport awards.

I would also like to congratulate the Bridport Surf Lifesaving Club, which last Sunday took a group of Nepalese people to the beach. Some of these people had never been to a beach before. It was wonderful to see them being thrown under waves and getting up with great and gracious smiles on their faces. This was a fantastic effort by Surf Life Saving and the Bridport Surf Lifesaving Club.
