():  I rise today to speak on one of Mackay's nights of nights for the Dawson electorate, and that is our Resource Industry Network Awards night. With over 350 attendees, it was a fantastic night, with industry leaders and a chance to celebrate our businesses doing great things.

I would like to make special mention of the following winners. From the Road Accident Action Group Mackay, congratulations to chair Rod Erwin on receiving the Standing Out from the Crowd Award. Congratulations to Twin Hills Engineering & Drilling on taking home the Expansion into New Markets Awards. The Inclusion and Diversity Award was won by KAEFER Integrated Services. The Safety Foremost Award was taken out by the Empower Safety Training program, delivered by BMA Hay Point Coal Terminal. Ausgroup Industrial Services epitomise what championing culture is all about, and they took home the Champion Culture Award. The Manufacturing Excellence Award went to KCL Industries. Last but not least, congratulations to the Muscle Garden Health & Fitness Centre on receiving the Connecting in the Community award. Too often, our businesses don't get the accolades and attention they deserve. Thank you to all the sponsors. I personally congratulate all the nominees and winners. I am proud to be a federal member of an area with so many outstanding businesses. Congratulations RIN.
