It is that wonderful time of the year when the nation's largest seniors forum run by a member of the House or the Senate is once again on in July. The Northern Gold Coast Seniors Expo is a forum that attracts upwards of 3,000 of our most valued seniors in the northern Gold Coast. This year, on 12 July from half past eight until half past 12, the Northern Gold Coast Seniors Expo will once again be on. Hosted in the same venue, which is the Runaway Bay Indoor Stadium, it will be another gala event. It will be another celebration of seniors—a celebration of growing older gracefully in years, but more importantly, in wisdom. It is going to be a great celebration for all who attend. It will be free for all of the seniors on the northern Gold Coast. There will be free morning tea, free lunch, speakers during the day and over 150 exhibitors with a range of information, services and equipment to help and assist people in later years. The 'Wizard of Oz' himself, Noel Whittaker, will be speaking on financial management. It is going to be a cracker of a day, and I welcome all northern Gold Coast senior citizens to come along and get involved.
