Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—The Invictus Games are an international multi‑sport event for wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans, named for a poem by William Ernest Henley. "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul," reads the poem, and I can think of no greater representative of that ideal than Charlestown electorate local Alex Hale. Serving in the Royal Australian Navy for 22 years, Alex's life was changed when an injury left him paralysed. Alex reports that fitness was always a part of his life, and became even more important after the accident. Just over 12 months after his accident, Hale participated at the 2024 Warrior Games in Florida—typically an event reserved only for wounded American military personnel, Alex and his teammates were granted an exception to compete. He received three medals. Now he is on his way to Vancouver to compete in the skiing and shooting biathlon, indoor rowing and wheelchair basketball. What an amazing story, and what an amazing athlete. Go well, Alex. We'll be cheering for you.
