I thank the member for Calare for his comments. In addition and in closing, I would just clarify a comment I made earlier. I mentioned The Fat Parcel in Eugowra. Just in case it wasn't abundantly clear, what I saw when I met with Judd and Tracey in this little community square—it's a pop-up food van. It's not just a small business; it's actually a meeting place for the entire community. I think he was stranded on the roof of his truck during the floods. He was one of the first in to help people sort out their businesses and their problems afterwards. I saw a tremendous human being and I saw somebody who is providing a service as a gathering place. If that wasn't abundantly clear in my earlier comments, I welcome the opportunity to clarify now.

Question agreed to.
