The world's largest guinea pigs are now at Taronga Zoo. They’re cuddly, cute and cheeky! This school holidays come and say hello to Pedro, Guillermo, Sanchez, Carlos and Rodney!
Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (15:21): My question is addressed to the Minister for Energy and Environment. Will the Minister update the House on conservation and fundraising efforts to protect threatened and endangered species?
Great to meet with amazing Plastic free Sophia who was named the Australian Geographic Young Conservationist of the Year for her efforts to stamp out single use plastics. Can’t wait to help her achieve that goal
Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Energy and Environment) (23:12):I pay tribute to Hornsby Berowra Eagles Junior Australian Football League [AFL] player Mikayla Hain, who celebrated 50 games for the club. Mikayla first joined the club in 2016 and has racked up some pretty impressive statistics over the four years. This season she is part of the North West Lightning division 1 under 16 team, which is an alliance of girls' teams from Hornsby, Westbrook and Pennant Hills AFL clubs. Mikayla has given up netball after 10 years to focus on her first love—AFL.

Fancy a swim in the Parramatta River? It’s now possible at four sites across the site. We’re working with local MP’s and the EPA on making the river swimmable by 2025.
From bike tracks to walking tracks to energy solutions, we covered new ground on our recent trip to Orange and the Blue Mountains. We’re focussed on a cleaner and greener environment for us all to enjoy. Take a look.
I begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which we are gathered and pay my respects to their Elders, past and present.
As I was getting ready for this dinner, I started thinking back to 2009.
In some ways, it was a bad year for Australian cricket.
After all, we lost the Ashes.
But I know I speak for everyone here when I say that 2009 was a great year for Australian cricket, because 2009 is when BlowFly Cricket was founded.
Cricket is often said to be Australia’s national game.
I want to thank CEDA for hosting today’s event. CEDA does fantastic work and it is an absolute pleasure to be here today.
I also want to congratulate the Morrison Government on its re-election. A returned Coalition Government is good news for the Australian people and the Australian economy. I intend to take a constructive, pragmatic approach in working with the Commonwealth Government. I have already met with Minister Taylor and I am looking forward to working constructively with him to address the challenges in the energy sector.
