I join with the Prime Minister in expressing condolences to the family and friends of Sir Llew Edwards, former Deputy Premier, Treasurer and health minister in the Queensland government—someone who, interestingly, began his work career as an electrician and then went and became a doctor. Bob Hawke, of course, appointed him to head Expo 88. He's someone who had friends on both sides of the chamber, including the member for Oxley, who I understand used to catch up with Mr Edwards for lunch. Mr Edwards was born in Ipswich—so from the same part of the world that produced Milton Dick. Our condolences go out to his family and his friends.
