On indulgence, I support the remarks of the Prime Minister and note in passing the good work of the member for Dunkley, who, while Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, helped to launch these efforts. It is good news that 75 of the 1,400 lost diggers have now been identified. I am sure that will be of much consolation to their families. This is a poignant reminder to the rest of us of the sacrifices that so many young Australians made in World War I. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten.
