Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

On indulgence: the opposition wishes to associate itself with the remarks of the government. There are 109 fires still burning, from Bundaberg to Gladstone, Mackay, Rockhampton and along Stradbroke Island and in many smaller locations. The loss of life is devastating. We, too, send our condolences to the family. And to the professionals and the volunteers: thank you, thank you, thank you.
