( I would like to acknowledge young Jack Kitchen today in the House. Young Jack suffered the loss of his father in a tragic accident last year, and this weekend he is competing in the Jimboomba Stadium Cross.

He has always had a love of motocross, and his father built a motocross track on their family property and, while building that, he lost his life. Jack's mother said that he always wanted to go out on a track and race with his father but, over the last few months, he has ceased to do that.

The local motocross community, including people from across Australia, have rallied to help support the family. I wish young Jack every success in his ride in the Jimboomba Stadium Cross this weekend. (Time expired)
