Last weekend, I attended the CQWA Mt Larcom Branch 90th anniversary celebrations. Festivities included a street parade, led by a pipe band, followed by a roll call. There were plenty of memorabilia and photos on display. A history booth gave everybody a chance to share old stories and photos. There was also a variety of market stalls and raffles. Mrs Dawn O'Dowd, my aunty, was awarded her 70th-year certificate and a pin and had the honour of cutting the anniversary cake. Congratulations, ladies, on your loyalty, dedication, hard work, friendship and community spirit. In the evening, festivities continued with an old-time dance. Special thanks go to Cheryl Hannant, president; Colleen Krapkat, treasurer; and Jean Peters and her committee. Congratulations on the 90th year of the QCWA Mount Larcom and a great community celebration.

In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members' statements has concluded. Just before I call on questions, members will have heard my statement this morning about wearing masks, including in here when you are not participating in the debate. Obviously, in chairing question time, I won't be able to be wearing a mask, and the same, obviously, goes for the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. I think that's fine and practical. For the rest who are asking questions, it's a matter of taking the mask off just before you jump.
