Nothing invites bipartisanship in this place and across government more than the impacts of a natural disaster on any part of the Australian community, and of course Labor joins with all in the Senate to support this motion. There have been reports that there has been a death in Townsville due to a person contracting a dangerous soil-borne disease and that this risk has increased due to the floods. It reminds us all that the current situation is critical and will have ongoing long-term effects. The opposition stands with the government as one, ready to do anything we can to assist those who need help.

Question agreed to.
