I would like to add a few words of my own. Tom Uren was a great man of the Labor Party and, yet, sometimes he could reach out to the other side. And well I remember a trio of the then Mayor of Mosman, the late Barry O'Keefe, and myself and Tom Uren standing on the same stage protesting to save the angophora forest on the shores of Balmoral. Needless to say, we won. As a mark of respect I invite honourable members to rise in their places.

Honourable members having stood in their places—

I thank the House.
