Mr WATTS (Gellibrand) (13:51): Members will know that, whether it's in this chamber or back in Melbourne's west in my electorate, I always represent Australian ballers. That's why I'm excited to be joining hundreds of community-minded Australian basketballers at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre for the Helping Hoops Charity Shootout next month. Helping Hoops runs free basketball programs for over 1,000 underprivileged Aussie kids every year, including the Future Footscray program in my electorate, which is generously funded by the Ben Simmons Family Foundation and was lucky enough to be visited by the NBA superstar and pride of Australia on his recent trip to Melbourne. The program helps young ballers from a diverse range of backgrounds to build self-esteem and discipline, develop goal-setting and leadership skills, and promote a healthy and active lifestyle, all while promoting a sense of belonging and community and aiding social cohesion. The charity shootout is in its eighth year, and Helping Hoops is aiming to raise $150,000 for its program, on top of the hundreds of thousands of dollars it has raised in the past. I will be raising funds by asking people to sponsor me at charityshootout.com.au/timwatts to see how many free throws I can hit in 15 minutes. Even better, you can sign up for the free-throw comp yourself at a court near you. If you want a really good time, come along to the charity shootout all-star game and see me in action between 6 and 8 pm on Saturday 5 October. There will be plenty of entertainment on show. I want to thank all of Helping Hoops' sponsors: Nike, the Ben Simmons Family Foundation, New Era, Melbourne United, the Melbourne Boomers, Goalrilla and BxC, or Business Experience Consulting. Be there or be square! The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Hogan ): I think I'm busy, but thanks.
