Before I call the next item of business I would like to take the opportunity to welcome representatives from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Sandra Genovese, Amanda Bedford and Lucy Bedford, accompanied by our colleagues the honourable member for Melbourne Ports and the honourable member for Oxley. I hope that you enjoy your visit to the second chamber of the House of Representatives and that you enjoy seeing Australia’s parliament in action. You are very welcome. You represent an excellent cause. I was privileged to go to the dinner last night and I am going to the lunch today after my stint in the chair. Whatever we can do as a country to encourage research in juvenile diabetes is a step very much in the right direction.
