(b)
notes and commends her significant and inspirational achievements as an aviation pioneer in Australia;
(c)
pays tribute to her service to Australian aviation including through the foundation of the Australian Women Pilots’ Association and her longstanding support for the Royal Flying Doctor Service; and

Question agreed to.
