Mr Speaker, on indulgence, the opposition joins the Prime Minister in extending the House’s condolences to the family of the bushfire fighter who has died. We welcome the commitment of the Commonwealth and state and local governments in responding to the fires in Queensland. We join with the government in admiration and commendation of the hard work and courage of the many volunteers and professional firefighters who are battling these fires and we express our admiration for the resilience and the fortitude of the communities affected, to whom go our best wishes and our prayers in these very challenging times.
