I thank the Chief Government Whip, the Chief Opposition Whip and the Leader of the Greens for placing the names of all of those members on the record. It is very important that those members are recognised. I know electorate offices are very, very busy, as we know here, but I thank them for the sacrifice of agreeing not to come. Looking around the chamber, it's self-evident why they couldn't all come.
