I want to acknowledge our Territory trainees and apprentices and the host businesses that they work in. I want to acknowledge all finalists and, of course, the category winners from the GTNT Awards Night on the weekend. David Hemopo won the David Beavington Most Outstanding Automotive Apprentice award, at Bridge Toyota. He's a great fella. Most Outstanding Shell Apprentice was Victoria Lang at Nilsen NT. School Based Apprentice of the Year was Taylah Mills at Gove District Hospital. Outstanding Apprentice of the Year Stage 1 went to Shane Greening at RK Diesel Services. Outstanding Apprentice of the Year Stage 2 went to Shannah Mudge at Aggreko. Outstanding Apprentice of the Year Stage 3 went to Matthew Cubis at Trace JV. Host Business of the Year was GEBIE Civil & Construction. Supervisor of the Year was Susan Turner. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Apprentice/Trainee of the Year was Jahdai Vigona of Menzies School of Health Research, and Trainee of the Year was, again, Jahdai Vigona at Menzies. Apprentice of the Year was Joshua Zeimer at Power Water Corporation.

Congratulations to all the finalists and category winners, and thank you to all the support organisations. Under this government, we've lost 150,000 apprentices. Federal Labor will bring back apprentices. We care about young people and the jobs of the future.
