With the National Police Memorial as a focal point and highlighting the positive image of police in the promotion of motorcycle safety and awareness, the Wall to Wall has become a much anticipated annual charity event in commemoration of the service and sacrifice of our police and for each of the states to raise much needed funds in support of their police charity organisations.

Each of the Australian police forces has a dedicated place of remembrance and reflection where they pay homage to and remember their police officers who have died as a result of their service to the community. From each of these sites a very special journey begins, with the intention of arriving at the outskirts of our national capital to meet and join the other contingents of riders from across Australia. In a final gesture of police solidarity and remembrance, the ride travels through Canberra to the National Police Memorial for a short but poignant ceremony to commence the week in honour of our colleagues and mates, their names recorded on the touch stones of the memorial wall.

I want to thank also our ACT SES volunteers for helping out with perhaps a thousand attendees, and to say “Well done” to ACT Policing organisers and riders once again this year.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.13 pm until Tuesday, 23 October 2018, at 10 am.
