On indulgence, I know I will meet with the approval of all members in extending to George Miller, the great Australian director, the congratulations of the Australian parliament in light of the fact that Happy Feet has won the best animated feature at the Academy Awards. It is a wonderful Oscar for this remarkable movie, which was made at Sydney’s Fox Studios with a largely Australian crew of more than 500 and used the voices of Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, the late Steve Irwin and other Hollywood stars. It is a wonderful Australian achievement, and I know that all members will join me in extending congratulations to George Miller.
