Before I begin on the bill in question, I want to associate myself with the remarks from the chair just now. I know that's the feeling of members across this parliament. The people who spoke on this motion were some of the best people in the parliament, in my view, including the member for McMillan and especially the member for Hotham. That is a tribute to Mickey Gordon. Given how we in this building loved him, I can only imagine what his family must be going through at this point and the scale of their loss. I just want to record my thoughts on that matter and thank the chair for that opportunity.
