I will take that interjection from Senator Boswell, from the Nationals. He said that it was disgraceful. You are right; that is what I said, Senator Boswell. It is disgraceful that the Senate’s time is being wasted to try and politicise an unfortunate event in Queensland. Senator Boswell, it is not too often that I agree with you, but I congratulate you. I agree with you this time that it is a disgrace.

While I am on that, it was reported that Senator Brown flew over the affected area. I might be wrong, but I think that you were accompanying a Greens candidate at the time.
