I rise to pay tribute to a great Territorian, Mr Adam Drake, who's here with us in the gallery today. In 2014 Adam founded Balanced Choice. It's an organisation that aims to improve the physical and mental health of its participants, and I've seen his work firsthand in the youth detention centre in Darwin—the way he lifts those kids up. The organisation has greatly expanded over recent times, and he's now got people all around the country, not just in state and territory government schools but in other correctional centres and in not-for-profit organisations, including in remote areas of the Territory. Balanced Choice now assists over 3,000 Territory kids. The work he's doing is fantastic. They're kicking goals and I recognise him. On Day for Daniel tomorrow, we'll recommit ourselves to serving and protecting our kids, who are our future.
