I would like to put in a big plug for the Illawarra Business Chamber's Illawarra Business Awards that are on tomorrow evening. There are 52 finalists out of 100 nominations. Hundreds of local small businesses will be participating. It is a wonderful event.

I know everyone in this House celebrates their small businesses on these sorts of occasions. I want to congratulate the Illawarra Business Chamber on what is a great annual event and give my very best wishes to all the participants and those competing for the awards that will be given out tomorrow night.

House adjourned at 17:00
