Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Regional Academy of Sport function here at Parliament House. The Hunter Academy of Sport was very well represented by its staff, athletes and their families. This year the Hunter Academy of Sport is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary and I congratulate them on that achievement.

In particular, I was very pleased to have my constituent Josh Robards and his family present. At the ripe old age of 16, Josh is a young golfer who plays off a handicap of plus-1. He is ranked fifth in New South Wales for male golfers under 18 and 33rd in Australia for males under 18. In 2017 he was the winner of the Brett Ogle Junior Masters, the Fayde Matchplay Tournament and the North Coast Junior Masters. This year he has been successful in winning the South Coast Junior Masters, Northern New South Wales Golf Championships, the Greg Chalmers Junior Masters, Macarthur Junior Masters and the Alice Springs Junior Open.

All the very best to Josh and I expect to hear big things in the future.
