Mr Speaker, can I take the opportunity to correct an aspect of my tribute to the late Prime Minister and President of Israel, Shimon Peres. On the advice I had received, I said it was unfortunate he had not had the opportunity to visit Australia. I have since been advised by a mutual friend in our Australian-Jewish community that Mr Peres did in fact visit Australia in years past, and I am very pleased to learn that he did.
