Mr Speaker, on indulgence: I wish to speak briefly on the 110th birthday of Mr Jack Ross. There are some 375,000 veterans from all conflicts in Australia today. Some 115,000 are from World War II and around 49,000 are from Vietnam but only one is from World War I, Mr Jack Ross, who some 90 years after the end of the conflict that was meant to be the war to end all wars has today celebrated his 110th birthday.
