QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr CHAFFEY (Parkes) (14:49): on indulgence—I want to associate my comments with the Prime Minister's. Thank you for matching the funding. In fact, just looking online at the moment—because fundraising's still continuing—it's almost $540,000 that Dusty has raised.

I also want to congratulate Dusty, his mother, Sarah, also a nurse who serves with Little Wings, and the CEO of Little Wings, Clare, who also joined Dusty for the more than 540 kilometre walk over 16 days down here to Canberra. I was fortunate enough to join them on the road for several of those days—only for short times, of course. I couldn't possibly walk that far a distance.

But this is something that has been planned for many, many months. He really is a man in a boy's body, showing that commitment. But it's all of the communities along that journey as well that have fundraised and been part of this journey.

I do appreciate and thank the Prime Minister and the government for their support.
