and pies—why not? I commend Rugby NT and the Darwin Basketball Association. There is going to be a US Marines versus Darwin basketball game as well. So it is going to be a great day.

It was also with great pleasure that I told Senator McCain that, as we speak, today, US Marines are digging out of the sand the propellers of a World War II combat veteran patrol boat, the Rushcutter. Members may have heard me speaking about it before. With the Royal Australian Navy, the US Marines are helping us save the Rushcutter, and I want to thank them very much.
