on indulgence—I thank the Prime Minister for his very generous and appropriate words. I extend our condolences, as a coalition, to the Deputy Prime Minister, and to his family, on the loss of his mother, a woman who, as the Prime Minister just detailed, accomplished so much in her life and who, I know, was a role model for the Deputy Prime Minister and for his siblings and an inspiration to the Marles family. To become the deputy chancellor, the vice-chancellor and the chancellor, among many other career highlights, and to manage a family at the same time speaks to the character and the tenacity of Fay Marles, and we wish every comfort to the Marles family. May Fay Marles rest in peace.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
