I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon Robert Tickner, a former member of this place and a former minister, but, more importantly for today’s events, the chief executive officer of the Australian Red Cross, on this the 60th anniversary of the four Geneva conventions of 1949. On behalf of the House, I extend to Robert a warm welcome.

Honourable Members:

Hear, hear!
