It is an absolute honour to be here today and officially launched the 2025 Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal. This is at become a tradition in the Parliament here. Every single Kmart store can be a place where people can deposit gifts, but people could also give money to assist people at a time of need. Thank you Kmart. I'm thinking of the really big tree in my hometown of Albury in the Kmart. Door and how well supported it is. And to the salvos, thank you for the amazing job you do. It really is extraordinary. You may not see the faces of the people who receive the gifts, but we get the opportunity to do that in the privacy and the way in which they want the dignity to be able to receive the gifts and give them to their children. So thank you for the smile on your face as you give and thank you for allowing us to put a smile on a parents face as they give a gift to a child. It came up with just so proud of the role that we can play, making everyday living brighter for Australians, particularly at Christmas and particularly for those that are doing it tough. So thank you everybody and together let's make this year the biggest year that we've had so far. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Yeah.
