In a moment I am going to ask members to rise in their places to acknowledge the courage, pain and loss suffered by those in Ravenshoe. I will ask that, when we stand, we ask the Deputy Prime Minister to take with him the wishes of the House, to extend condolences to those who have lost loved ones and to extend the compassion, empathy and sympathy that the House feels for their loss when he travels there on Monday.

As a mark of respect, I invite honourable members to rise in their places.

Honourable members having stood in their places—

Debate adjourned.
