Wyong

Great to be with you.

Vossi, Tourist, we've got a problem here from Chris of Wyong.

Can we help him out? My daughter has an HSC exam today between 1.30 and 5.

Department of Education, pull your bloody socks up.

I think they could have like a FIFA introduced World Cup, you know, sort of water breaks.

We could have a little Melbourne Cup break mid-Latin exam or something.

Chris from Wyong, I feel for it.

Yeah, you're right.

I just wanted to acknowledge an announcement that's been made this morning by David Harris, who's the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty, Gaming and Racing, Veterans, Medical Research and the Minister for the Central Coast.

He's announced that he won't be recontesting his seat of Wyong at the upcoming election on March 13th.

He says in a statement, I can confirm that I will continue in my current role as the local member for Wyong and carry out my full ministerial duties until the election.

The announcement marks the conclusion of a parliamentary career spanning 16 years, preceded by more than two decades in public education.

Reflecting on my service, I've come to realise public service has been more than a job.

Before entering the parliament, I spent 23 years in public education as a teacher, executive and principal, working to shape the futures of local children.

I hope the next Labor candidate shares my passion for education as I've found that it is the lifeblood of our community.

Representing the people of Wyong as their parliamentary representative, parliamentary secretary, shadow minister and government minister has been the greatest privilege of my working life.

Yeah.

Then Wyong, probably not the most ideal track, right, for this horse.

It's

Farragher.

And on its home track, I say it all the time, Warrnambool horses at Warrnambool is always worth a bit.

So we will go with that.

Then I go to Wyong and I am going race two, number three, Royal Silver.

Michael Friedman, Zach Lloyd on board.

We'll just stop and get breakfast.

And there was Wyong Southbound we pulled into.

And in the middle of the goddamn truck parking bay, they've got this big fenced off area where they're putting stupid electric vehicle charging stations.

Oh, perfect.

I actually did a story fairly recently, and this isn't related to heat pumps or heat, but it is related to business connecting to the grid.

Ampol wanted to set up an EV charging site north of Wyong, and Ausgrid agreed to provide additional electricity when network capacity is available in exchange, though, for... amp charge to reduce that demand when the grid is under pressure.

And they reckon it's only for a small percentage of times during the year that they've actually got to, essentially the EV charges just slow down.

They're not cut off in any way.

I mean, we're at seven at the moment because we are going to count St. Helens.

Throwing Wyong, Norse Devils, Redcliffe Dolphins.

We're at ten.

Oh, my God.

Actually did really, really well as a club.

All five grades managed to get the win against the Wyong Wildcats.

And it was, like, phenomenal.

It was great to be down there.

The Yates, Andrew Yates and his dad, Rick Yates, were both playing in

fourth grade

for Wyong as well.

Awesome.

That's pretty impressive.

And highest power to the new site, 1,600 kilowatts Am Charge in Wyong, New South Wales.

There you go.

Fastest individual handle, as confirmed by Richard.
