He resides in Adelaide, in South Australia. I am sure that the member for Mayo will join with me and extend our condolences to the parents and the families of John McCarthy, whose funeral is today in Melbourne. To John's parents, Shane and Cath, his brother, Matt, his sisters, Frances, Elizabeth and Jane, his girlfriend, Dani, and his extended family and network of friends, on behalf of the parliament I extend our condolences. My son is attending John's funeral in Melbourne today. I would like to pass on the message to the parliament that it was a tragic end to a young man's life. He was one of Australia's sporting heroes. Thank you.
