Can I just say to the Member for Fremantle: I am sure we all feel as she does. You rightly reflected that we are a community, and sometimes we, as members of parliament, lose sight of the fact that we are members of a community, across the divide, and I would just like to say—I am sure, on behalf of those members of parliament in the House of Representatives that I can speak for; I hope I am speaking for them—that we share in your words of condolence on Conor and the tragedy that has ended his life. It is tragic, and you need to know that we will be feeling for you and your staff. It is very much part of all our lives. Without our staff we are nothing.
