Today I would like to congratulate the recipients of awards in the 2022 Australia Day honours within my electorate of Boothby. I'm honoured to be able to congratulate this year's recipients and to highlight their contributions to our local community, to South Australia and to the nation. The following local residents were awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2022 Australia Day honours: Mr Robert Canney, for service to cricket; Mr Roger Grund, for service to conservation; Dr Kerry Hancock, for service to medicine through a range of roles; Ms Meg Harris, for service to sport as a gold medallist at the Tokyo Olympic Games, winning gold in the 4 x 100 metre freestyle swimming relay at only 19 years of age; Angela Pangallo, for service to people with neurodevelopmental disorders; and Mr Graham Priestnall, for service to the defence industry.

A number of local residents were also recognised with meritorious awards. I would also like to highlight their work for our community, state and nation. Mrs Sara Fleming was awarded the Public Service Medal for outstanding public service to the development and provision of Paediatric Palliative Care Services; Mr Malcolm Amos was awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal; and Mr Jamie Goldsmith was awarded the Australian Corrections Medal. Each of these honours recipients is a dedicated and respected member of our local community, and I extend my sincere congratulations and thanks to them all.
