I am very pleased that today I am also launching an essay-writing program titled 'Honouring our Vietnam veterans'. That will be available around Australia, in each electorate, for young people who will be in years 10 and 11 next year. This can be an essay, a multimedia presentation or a creative presentation based on research of two individuals or two units, including their role in and contribution to the war and the importance of honouring their service and sacrifice. The winners from each electorate will be in Canberra next year between 17 and 19 August so they can again participate in the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.

Just before I finish, can I again remind the chamber that we will be bringing those men back from Terendak—a 50-year wrong that has now been righted. (Time expired)
