On indulgence, the generosity from community to community continues in our fire situation. The generous people of Cranbourne in Victoria, through the auspices of the Settlement Hotel’s owners, Mary and John Finning, have donated $3,000 each to the Labertouche and the Jindivick schools for fire rehabilitation projects at those two places. This is only a recent development. I draw it to the attention of the chair because of the continuing support for fire victims right across Australia. I notice Kim Wilkie, who has been a great support to Marysville, sitting up there and I acknowledge his presence. This generosity continues day after day after day.
