This afternoon I would like to congratulate the St George Men's Shed on some of its tremendous activities within my local community. There are more than 1,000 men's sheds around Australia, and they obviously do a whole lot of fantastic work right around the country. I have visited the St George Men's Shed in Penshurst on three occasions, and each time I have been taken by the camaraderie that is there and by the great work the people of the men's shed do for the St George region. Recently they have been doing some work for the Carinya School in Mortdale, a school for kids with special needs. They built seating around a large tree in the playground, and this will allow the kids to have sheltered seating— (Time expired)
