I rise to acknowledge the great work done by the Attorney-General, Robert McClelland, the foreign minister, Kevin Rudd, and many other members on behalf of Lee and Chris Rush and their son Scott. Lee and Chris are my constituents in Graceville and I want to commend people like Chris Hayes, the member for Fowler, for the great work they have done to ensure that Scott has started the journey to being released from prison. Obviously there is a lot more work to be done but at least this is getting him off death row as the first part of that process.
