I again thank Senator Fawcett. Indeed they can. It will be special flight QF100, which will go from Australia to Turkey. I will be writing this week, or early next week, to a further 270 Australians, inviting them to go to Gallipoli. They are the rotating part of the ballot. People have said they are not going, so we are continuing to provide Australians with the opportunity to go to this fantastic commemorative event. Can I say to those people who will get that letter that this flight may well provide an opportunity for them to get there. Can I also say to those who are planning to go overseas for commemorative events—whether to Villers-Bretonneux, to Gallipoli or elsewhere—that they should make bookings now, and can I again reinforce, please, for everyone who is travelling overseas, particularly for these commemorative events, to register their details with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Smartraveller service.
