I rise, on indulgence, on two matters. Firstly, I thank the Leader of the Opposition and the Minister for Veterans' Affairs for their words. I can think, frankly, of no better demonstration of the spirit of those who we lost 100 years ago than what we've seen in Australia over the past week in the spirit of those who've been competing in the Invictus Games in Sydney. It has been truly remarkable. Jenny and the girls have been out there this week seeing the events, and they've told me stories about courage and determination from all the athletes from all the countries that are represented there. I want to thank Sydneysiders for getting behind the games and recognising all those great athletes. I think that's a fitting tribute as we go into Armistice Day.

On another note, I wish to congratulate the member for Curtin. I would like to recognise that she received yesterday an honour from the United States embassy. The member for Curtin was awarded the inaugural US Mission Award for Leadership Excellence, established to honour Eleanor Roosevelt's legacy and lifelong crusade for equality, social justice and human rights. I commend the member for Curtin.

I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
