I did want to say, on indulgence, and it is a matter that I was speaking to the member for Braddon about yesterday: as people would be aware, we did lose the life of a young Australian woman in the train fire in India. The member for Braddon is the representative of that local community in this place. He is someone who knows the family. There are parents and a family grieving for this lost Australian. She was there with three companions, also from Tasmania, and I did want to take this opportunity to say that I believe the thoughts of every member of the House will be with that family and with that very tight-knit local community.
