I rise today to speak about the great state of South Australia, and I'll give you my top 3 for the week in SA. We are kicking goals all across the field right now. On Saturday, the mighty Port Adelaide Football Club cemented its place in the top 4, heading towards the finals in September. The Adelaide Crows tried their best to win the coveted showdown crown, but ultimately they were no match for the crowd of Alberton. I give a big shout-out to Willie Rioli for another amazing performance, kicking three of the 11 goals. I look forward to the Crows setting aside their grief and joining us in cheering on a South Australian team in the final.

But, if they can't get on board with cheering for that, I know that they can absolutely, alongside all other South Australians, get on board with cheering for the high-quality, world-class broadband internet that the Albanese Labor government is funding across our state. The investment of $2.4 billion, as an equity injection for the NBN, is helping fibre upgrade programs across South Australia make a difference. It's a game changer—a game changer for regional business, a game changer for people on the ground across those communities.

Finally, there was a big goal for SA, thanks to the amazing South Australian education minister and good friend of mine, Blair Boyer, who has invested $18.4 million to strengthen civics and citizenship education in SA public high schools. I know, from the inquiry that we've been conducting into civics, that there is so much drive for this, so much support for building civics into our schools, building our democracy and strengthening that engagement of our South Australians.
