I rise to congratulate a family in the north-east region of my electorate of Bass—Michael and Raylene Taylor. Michael and Raylene own and operate a specialist service that provides Proud-Aid, a product they developed and sell. This product has won the O group's Business Enterprise Centre national award for best home-based business in Australia, a fantastic achievement.

The O group supported this business to help take it to where it is today and I congratulate John Brown, the manager of Launceston's Business Enterprise Centre, for his assistance to this business and to many other small businesses in my electorate. Congratulations to Michael and Raylene and their family, not only for receiving this award but for their innovative ideas, passion, hard work and commitment to getting the business to where it is today. All the best to them for the future.
