It is a fortuitous coincidence that I should follow the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection in speaking on this motion, because we spent Anzac Day in Anzac Cove together in 2008, and I know we both appreciated the privilege of that opportunity. Indeed, I am one of the relatively few people who have had the great honour and privilege to deliver both the Dawn Service Address and the Lone Pine Address at Gallipoli on Anzac Day. It is an opportunity and a privilege that can barely be described. Standing in the cold as the dawn breaks and listening to that very cold water lapping just behind the area from where you address the crowd is an almost surreal experience—addressing about 10,000 people, about 80 per cent of whom are Australians, typically dressed in yellow.
