          <by role="office">The SPEAKER:</by>  Before I call the deputy leader, I would like to welcome to parliament today Mr Steven Alderson. He is my guest, a local constituent, but he is also Australia's latest sporting star. Steven took out the Golf for the Disabled Tour championship in Spain just a couple of weeks ago and captured the hearts of many Australians with how he described growing up with autism and how the relentless bullying forced him from five schools and took him out to the Willunga Golf Course, where he just hit balls day after day after day.</text>
        <text id="20241031e6b19fbbc3ee4d53a0000485">Steven, thank you for what you have done not only on the golf course but for people with autism around the world. I know the outpouring of emotion has been huge from many people around Australia. I want to thank you for all your advocacy that you are doing on behalf of people with autism and wish you all the very best for your next tournament in Dubai coming up the week after next.</text>
