Mr Deputy Speaker, on a very quick matter of indulgence, could we acknowledge in the chamber today Mrs Juliet Lockhart, who has been present for the debate on the Prohibition of Human Cloning for Reproduction and the Regulation of Human Embryo Research Amendment Bill. Her late husband, Professor Lockhart, was the chair of the Lockhart review. Whatever view one has taken of this debate, I think we would all acknowledge that his work was done in good faith, with intensity and with integrity, and we should mark that moment. Could I also, on indulgence, acknowledge in the chamber the presence of Senator Kay Patterson, the proponent of the bill, and Senators Webber and Moore.
