I acknowledge the NSW Seniors Festival, celebrating older people in New South Wales and giving them an opportunity for connection—which just so happens to be this year's theme.

Father Chris Riley's Youth Off the Streets is a wonderful not for‑profit organisation which has been doing crucial work since 1991.
