I rise today to express my overwhelming gratitude to the people of Macarthur for placing their faith in me to represent them in this place for a second term.
An opposition member: It's well placed!
Thank you. As I said in my maiden speech in 2016, it was very humbling to be elected by the community—a community that I know and love—to be their voice on the national stage. Three years later, the weight of this is not lost on me, and I remain as determined as ever to serve my community well. However, this would not be possible without a loyal team of supporters behind me, and I wish to take the opportunity to thank them for their assistance throughout my election campaign. My supporters were the backbone of my positive grassroots campaign, and I wouldn't be here if it were not for their efforts knocking on doors at the weekend, phoning constituents and helping out at polling booths at prepoll and on election day. If I were to name every volunteer, supporter and branch member by name, I would be here all day. Instead, I seek leave to table and record in Hansard a list of some of my supporters' names to express my gratitude for their efforts and loyalty.
I also wish to express my gratitude to my staff and my family for their unwavering support. I look forward to working with all members of the House in a productive and respectful manner throughout the term of the 46th Parliament and thank the Macarthur community once again for the opportunity to represent them.
Leave granted.
