Before I call the honourable member for Denison, who is the next questioner, I would like to recognise a former minister and long-serving member of this place, the Hon. Duncan Kerr, who is in the gallery. Another former minister and member of the other place, former Senator Patterson, is also in the gallery. On behalf of all honourable members I would like to extend a very warm welcome to these two former colleagues who are observing question time.
Honourable members: Hear, Hear!
