Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections) — I acknowledge the invaluable contribution of the Chinese Building Association NSW [CBANSW] to the construction and development sector in NSW. Since its establishment, CBANSW has played a crucial role in fostering greater collaboration, excellence and cultural connection across the industry. I commend CBANSW for not only strengthening the professional standing of its members but also the broader reputation of the Chinese-Australian community within the building industry. I extend my warmest congratulations to Carson Gao, Founder and CEO of CBANSW, for the resounding success of the Association's 2025 Gala Dinner. Now in its sixth year, this sold-out event rose to even greater heights, bringing together over 1,350 industry leaders and innovators—a testament to Carson's vision and energy. It was an honour to join such an impressive gathering as keynote speaker and to celebrate CBANSW's continued achievements first‑hand. Congratulations once again to Carson and the entire CBANSW team on this outstanding achievement and thank you for your continued contribution to the building industry in NSW.
