I inform all members that we have in the gallery this afternoon the Hon. Brendan Nelson. Whilst it would be setting a precedent to acknowledge him for the position in which he is acting on behalf of Australia at the moment—and whilst I know he is doing a good job in that—he is acknowledged as the former member for Bradfield, a former minister and a former Leader of the Opposition, and he is warmly welcomed.
