One of the most heart-rending experiences I have had in a long time was when I had the privilege of visiting the site of the twin towers disaster in New York. I visited several years after that event and I could not help but be struck by the enormity of the grief that people were experiencing. My colleague has now returned. Just to finish that, there was also the terrible grief of those people caught up in the Bali bombing and the sadness that lingers after those events. Anything we can do to help the victims is very important. With your indulgence, Madam Deputy Speaker Livermore, I will hand over to my colleague.
