This question is non-political but is of national significance. The Premier is aware that the Spring Valley heritage horse ride, which started in the Kimberley on 14 April, concludes in Sydney on Sunday, 13 August. The horse ride went north around the top end of Australia, south through Western Australia, across the Nullarbor Plain and will finish in Sydney. I am privileged to have been invited by the Parliament of New South Wales to be present on Sunday; it knew that I had seen the riders off from Broome on 14 April. Would the Premier like me to convey to the members of the Spring Valley heritage horse ride this Parliament’s congratulations and best wishes? Mr COURT

I thank the member for about one minute’s notice of this question! The Spring Valley heritage horse ride is an epic event. I am aware that the member saw this ride at its beginning in Broome. A number of the riders and the horses will arrive in Sydney this weekend and I am sure that members of the Western Australian Parliament send their congratulations to those people for their achievement. I believe the member for Kimberley is the appropriate representative for the official arrival of those people. If the member wants to wait in Sydney for a little while longer, I think some tractors will arrive there shortly. He might also want to welcome them on behalf of the Parliament!
