We are very excited about the Sir John Monash Centre. It is, as I said, the most significant infrastructure project of the Australian government's Anzac Centenary program and provides a lasting international legacy for future generations. The official opening of the Sir John Monash Centre will take place on Tuesday, 24 April, next month, in Villers-Bretonneux in France. The state-of-the-art centre is designed to give visitors a unique understanding of Australia's experience of the Western Front battlefields of the First World War, and it's of course named after our most senior commanding general on the Western Front. I think it's important to note that, on this Anzac Day, in the centenary year of the end of World War I, as a chamber, we will remember them.
