on indulgence—I want to congratulate the Leader of the Opposition on that contribution. Neale Daniher is indeed an absolute hero. He was strong and a hero on the field, and off the field he has shown enormous strength and courage in speaking about MND and raising funds for MND and in organising the charitable events in order to provide more awareness and greater knowledge of this terrible disease.

It is something that is debilitating and it is something that I think most Australians, unfortunately, know people who've suffered from it. It is a debilitating disease. We wish Neale all the very best, and we join with all of the parliament in saying that it is a very good thing if people kick in, buy a beanie, help to raise funds and help to cure this terrible disease.
