My question is to the Prime Minister. Earlier today, I joined the Prime Minister at the National Museum for the unveiling of a permanent display of letters exchanged between Mr Walter Mikac and then prime minister John Howard which were instrumental in the decision by Mr Howard to deliver historic gun control reforms.

On 28 April, Mr Mikac's wife, Nanette, and his daughters, Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged six and three, were amongst 35 Australians murdered at Port Arthur. The Alannah and Madeline Foundation honours their memory and champions the right of children to live free from violence and trauma. Can the Prime Minister update the House on the importance of the foundation and of the permanent display unveiled this morning?
