I am happy to take up the points that the honourable member has raised and take the opportunity, too, of acknowledging the real interest he has in the Pacific. He has travelled there a lot and I think he has done a very good job in focusing on a lot of those issues. The parliament is grateful to him for the contribution he has made.
