In closing the debate I thank senators for their contributions. I cannot help but wonder whether our late Prime Minister ever thought the Senate could be so kind and compassionate towards him—as it has been today. I, too, extend my sympathy to the family of the late Gough Whitlam—and to you, Senator Wong, and your Labor Party colleagues here and in the other place I also extend my sympathy. I particularly extend my sympathy to Senator Faulkner, who was such a close friend of Gough Whitlam.

Question agreed to, honourable senators standing in their places.
