In making a few closing comments, I thank all members, particularly on that side of the House, for joining me today in this motion of condolence for Jane McGrath. In my short time in this place, this probably has been the most moving of all things that I have seen take place in this and the other chamber. On behalf of my Sutherland shire community, I pass on those thanks to all of your communities for joining in this motion. These things make Australia what it is, with our shared sense of loss at times like these but also our shared sense of humanity and of hope. In doing so—no matter how members wish to take it—I offer my prayers now for Glenn, James and Holly and their family. I just ask that the Lord comfort them at this very difficult time and in the times ahead; however, more than that, I ask that the Lord will strengthen all those who are suffering from breast cancer and that he will strengthen all of their families—that they will take great encouragement and hope from this day. We just pray for God’s blessing on all of them.
