Last week I was honoured to be invited to Government House in South Australia, where Her Excellency Frances Adamson awarded the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust fellowships for the South Australian applicants this year. As a former selection chair and national board member, I have found the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to be an absolutely fascinating and very worthy organisation which recognises passion projects that will make a difference to our country across a whole range of different topics.

We had six fellowships awarded last week for South Australians with a whole range of interests: to empower young people to engage with parliament; best outcomes in teaching mathematics; the role of the circular economy in minimising waste to landfill; to increase access to mental health services for young people; a study on biomechanical models used in world-leading spinal injury clinics; and an agriculture project that was looking at pulse proteins. I really congratulate all six of these South Australians for getting through a very competitive process, and I look forward to seeing their travels overseas next year and their reports back.
