00:03 You want to grab a knife or a pen?

00:08 I just grabbed it.

00:09 It's awesome.

00:10 It was terrible.

00:13 We were worried we wouldn't get any good.

00:16 And so we went around and around and around.

00:18 For the longest I've ever flown.

00:20 [INAUDIBLE]

00:29 [HORSE NEIGHING]

00:33 [NON-ENGLISH SINGING]

00:36 [NON-ENGLISH SINGING]

00:40 No, no.

01:03 I'll start off with the little one.

01:06 Well, look, it's fantastic to be here

01:09 in Orange with the mayor, the local federal member, Andrew

01:14 Gee, the local state member, Phil Donato, Senator Debo

01:19 Neal, the MLC Lawrence, and other councillors

01:25 and former councillors.

01:26 But importantly as well, community leaders

01:29 who are with us here today.

01:31 Orange, we have LiftOff, a $33 and 1/2 million project

01:36 that will transform this region.

01:39 It will add to the other world class facilities that

01:42 are right here in Orange and create a precinct that's

01:46 about arts, about entertainment, about learning,

01:50 that will boost tourism, and importantly,

01:53 will create jobs in the construction

01:55 over the next 18 months.

01:57 We know that at least 60 jobs directly

02:00 will be created on this site.

02:02 And the reason why community infrastructure

02:05 going through local government is a good idea

02:08 is because you get local procurement.

02:10 You get that local multiplier.

02:12 You will get local jobs created because the mayor here

02:16 and the council will ensure that that benefit flows

02:21 through to local communities.

02:24 So I want to acknowledge the leadership of the council,

02:27 but also the leadership of the local federal member, Andrew

02:32 Gee, who argued strongly for this funding,

02:35 to Phil Donato, who argued for state funding as well.

02:39 I was speaking with Chris Mins last night.

02:42 This is a very exciting project.

02:44 I DJ.

02:46 I haven't done it for a while.

02:47 I used to do that for charities and for various things.

02:51 I can do it as well.

02:52 [LAUGHTER]

02:54 How many of you do that?

02:55 Well, I do do--

02:56 I've done some barn-and-duty DJing just for good fun.

03:02 Yeah.

03:03 Good fun.

03:04 How many counts do you need, guys?

03:05 I reckon it's on three.

03:07 Three.

03:07 Two.

03:08 [LAUGHTER]

03:10 Ready?

03:11 And a one, and a two, and a three.

03:13 Away you go, boys and girls.

03:14 Here we go.

03:15 Hey, hey, round of applause.

03:17 [APPLAUSE]

03:19 [SIDE CONVERSATION]

03:23 [APPLAUSE]
