I inform the chamber that I have initiated a federal petition to call upon the government to ask Australia Post to establish a red street posting box on the Kingsway in the vicinity of Darch or Madeley and also close to the Madeley-Brightwater aged persons facility and independent living area. There is a great need for a street posting box on this street. It is a significant distance by walking path or by road to the nearest postbox. There is a great need to put something in the local vicinity so that those aged or infirm persons can easily use Australia Post services. I would imagine that, if established on the Kingsway, it could later be moved the short distance down to the new Darch shopping centre so that it would be available for people in Darch and would also not be too far from the Madeley-Brightwater estate. That petition has been initiated and I thank Joan Tillbrook, Eileen Brown, Edwin Tamlin and Joan Brouwer for raising the issue with me. I am most happy to advance it.

As the 90-second statements have concluded, I propose to suspend proceedings.
