One of the great things about where I live in the electorate of Mallee is the vista when I look out my front window. I have been watching the vineyards as they get greener and greener. And now is the time of the year to go and buy some Australian grown table grapes. The table grape season is here. The weather is beautiful. There is nothing better than sitting down and watching a bit of sport and munching away on a few Australian grown table grapes. School is back, and they are great for kids lunches. Australian grown table grapes are going to be healthy and fresh. They are going to keep you regular and they are going to be very good for you.

I pay tribute to those who I have seen working very diligently over the last few months. The people who grow our fresh food are to be commended. They are Australia's unsung heroes. These table grapes are not just providing fresh fruit for Australians; they are now exported right across the world. So I say to the Australian people: buy some Australian grown fresh fruit. It is good to you, it is good for your health, it is good for our exports and it is good for our country. And well done to those hardworking Australians who grow the products that we eat every day.
