Today is a good day for the Central Coast. As many of you know, I'm always on my feet in this chamber when one of our own has done something amazing. Today, I am here to do that again. I want to talk about Cadet Warrant Officer Keira Johnson, who this year was awarded the 2024 New South Wales Governor's Sword of Honour for Excellence. This was following a selection process that assessed her leadership, community service and involvement, and efficiency. There was interview panel that was chaired by the New South Wales Governor, and Cadet Warrant Officer Keira Johnson was successful in being awarded the Sword of Honour for Excellence. This award is open to cadets right across New South Wales. Two of the 311 (City of Gosford) Squadron members advanced to the final four. To Cadet Warrant Officer Keira Johnson, congratulations on this award.

During the June King's Birthday weekend, 311 (City of Gosford) Squadron participated in the 3 Wing AAFC—NSW & ACT competitions at RAAF Base Richmond, competing against over 40 squadrons in drill, small-bore shooting, field craft, aviation and RAAF knowledge events. The 311 squadron achieved the most points across the events, winning the 3 Wing Officer Commanding Cup for the best team. This is the first time the trophy has come to Gosford.
