Shane Henwood together with Shane Sutherland helped in a surf rescue at Pippi Beach recently. I acknowledged them both in Parliament and referred to them as body boarders.
Given the severity of the issue, I had Hansard officially changed to say they were surfers. I presented Shane with an official copy of Hansard when I caught up with him at the Yamba YHA Backpackers.

It was great to announce the winning tenders to build 170 new bridges. This is all part of the Pacific Highway upgrade.
Many more jobs to be created as part of this build.
