Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the honourable member for Lingiari for his contribution. I think if I continue to thank him for a few more lengthy comments, I am sure very soon we will get to nine o'clock and we will be able to move to the adjournment. So I can simply say that I think the contributions to the debate about the Hon. Tom Uren have been very distinguished. The fact that this parliament has seen two remarkable men who have served at Changi and on the Burma railway, in Tom Uren and John Carrick, says something quite special about our parliament. The comments that have been made have reflected the fact that we are, all of us, very grateful for the service that they gave our great nation.
