The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony is tonight. Along with the Minister for Sport and all members of the House of Representatives, I'm sure we wish all of our athletes, the men and women who will represent our great nation, all the best over the coming fortnight as they compete in Birmingham and as they do Australia proud.

Likewise, I join with the Prime Minister in offering support to our best and greatest. We expect to scoop the pool. There are a lot of opportunities there for us and our wonderful athletes. We thank their family, the support staff and all of those who have contributed to what I'm sure will be a great success and make all Australians very proud.
