I can pleasingly announce that Australia has got their first gold medal at the Paralympics—Paige Greco in the women's C1-3 3,000 metre individual pursuit. That was quickly followed by a second gold by Emily Petricola, who won the women's C4 3,000 metre individual pursuit. Congratulations! We know there'll be many more and we wish them all the best. I'm sure that Leader of the Opposition joins me.

I join with the Prime Minister in congratulating our gold-medal Paralympians. They do us proud as a nation and they inspire us through their efforts.
