Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation) (13:24): Today I extend huge congratulations to one of my favourite butchers and one of the all-time greatest blokes, Adam Stratton. Adam was recently awarded third place in the World Butchers' Challenge in Ireland. This amazing achievement showcased Adam's craft and passion for what he does. On top of his fantastic international results, Adam and his business, Tender Gourmet Butchery, are the most-awarded butchery in Australia, with more than 200 titles. Adam has also been named as one of the top six butchers in the world, and his gourmet sausages are consistent winners at the Sydney Fine Food Show and Competition. Adam is very innovative when it comes to his sausages. He has a vegemite and cheese sausage, beef and VB sausage and—wait for it—the "lambington" with chocolate sausage. I congratulate Adam and the entire team at Tender Gourmet Butchery. They deserve every bit of their significant success.
