Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—I'd like to recognise passionate local Michael Guest, director of the popular fishing television series Reel Action, for his incredible work in organising the upcoming Let's Fish Lake Mac competition. With a deep love for all things aquatic and a strong commitment to protecting our environment, Michael inspires others to share his passion for fishing and the outdoors. This annual event, now in its fourth year, is making a splash in our community by bringing people together for a weekend of fun and friendly competition on Lake Macquarie, Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake. Let's Fish Lake Mac is about more than just fishing—it's an opportunity for families, friends, and neighbours to connect, create memories, and celebrate our natural surroundings. With $100,000 in tagged fish ready to be caught, it's sure to strengthen community spirit and showcase the best of Lake Macquarie. Thank you, Michael, for the work you are doing to bring our community closer together.
