‘Passionate’ is probably a better word than ‘fanatic’. She is a passionate supporter of what happens down there. Congratulations to all of those involved. I am pleased that the committee had a close look at our Antarctic territories. The government response is a very good response. It deals with each recommendation in a very positive and forthright way. As I say, I congratulate the Antarctic Division, the Mawson’s Huts Foundation and others on the work that they have done to enhance Australia’s reputation in its Antarctic territory management. I seek leave to continue my remarks later.
Leave granted; debate adjourned.
