It's great to see some more money for saleyards in New England. We've got some great announcements for Guyra saleyards, which 300,000 sheep go through a year. I know Michael Jackson, who is a great agent in that part of the world, will be very excited about the money we are getting for Guyra saleyards as we upgrade that facility and get more money to the people and back onto the streets of Guyra. But it's not only that. It's also the Armidale saleyards. We're putting $2.4 million towards the Armidale saleyards, with the Guyra saleyards, so that we can upgrade that all the way to solar panels. It's not just the Guyra saleyards and the Armidale saleyards that we're working so hard on; we've also been working very hard on the Inverell saleyards. The Inverell saleyards are a great venue of the cattle industry of northern New South Wales, but it's not just that either. Before I knock this down, we're also going to look at the Scone saleyards. The Scone saleyards have been around for a very long time and do a really good job. So, Mr Deputy Speaker, the Guyra saleyards and Armidale saleyards are there for you. It's anybody's. It's there for the taking. I'll take it once! I'll take it twice! Done!
