Thank you, President. I also thank Indigenous leaders and families across the country, especially in Victoria in terms of the push for treaty and the Yoorrook commission, and all of those working across the other states and jurisdictions in terms of the high rates of removal of First Nations people. I think it's important. We are doing the best that we can, and I do urge all senators—Senator Thorpe included—to remember that this is a place to use for the betterment of our country.
