Always! I rise to pay tribute to the St George Willawong Football Club, which is a wonderful sporting community organisation in my home state of Queensland. I especially want to congratulate them this evening upon their promotion to the National Premier League. This constitutes their sixth promotion in nine seasons. This club has been immensely successful and now it has graduated to the National Premier League, which is the top tier in Queensland football, by winning the FQPL1 competition. They defeated Eastern Suburbs 2-1. As I said, six promotions in nine seasons—just fantastic. I'd like to congratulate the committee members who have overseen the club during its last nine years of success: Zac Popov, the president, Igor Djurdevic, the vice-president and Nik Bojic, the secretary. Congratulations to all of the community members for your fabulous work.

I would also like to congratulate the following players, who've been part of this success: Ashton Bonsall, Rian Kim, Ben Barratt, Umaru Sheriff, Fredi Bahombwa, Loughlin Sharma, Josh Wilson, Ethan Smith, Fiston Chungu, Seb Corta, Jordan Davie, Dilan Popov, Deng Deng, Mitchell Herrmann, Jacon Fulluck, Danilo Kovacevic, Mawien Nielo and Stegan Dmitrovic. Excuse me for the pronunciation. We will make sure your names are correctly recorded in Hansard to celebrate this wonderful, wonderful success you've had. As I said, six promotions over the last nine seasons—just extraordinary.

Lastly, I want to pay tribute to all of the club members, the volunteers and everyone involved in the St George Willawong Football Club. Congratulations. I wish you every success in the next season in the National Premier League.
