Mr Speaker, I presume that, if he is following your advice, that will help him with his recovery! We wish Chris very well. He has been the most successful Chief Opposition Whip in the House of Representatives for a generation. We have certainly been in touch with his family. It is a difficult time for them, but, importantly, every day Chris is on the mend. We look forward to him returning as soon as possible.
