Mr Speaker, thank you for a brief indulgence. On behalf of the opposition, I am very happy to congratulate the shadow Treasurer, who is not here today, on the birth of Ignatius Hockey who is a brother to Adelaide and Xavier. Congratulations to Melissa Babbage and Joe Hockey, our shadow Treasurer, who will no doubt return tired but happy.

The President:

I think that all members would wish to be associated with the best wishes.
