I do thank Senator Moore and Senator Rice for their contributions. I make the observation that it was Qantas itself that explained where the turnaround took place in its fortunes. I also make the observation that Qantas, almost alone in the world at the moment, is an international airline that has actually been able to return itself to profit, and I do make the observation—I come back to this point—that, as I have pointed out in (b)(i), all sectors in the group returned to profit. I think this is commendable. It is excellent for the future of employees in the organisation and for the security of our aviation, and I commend the motion to the Senate.
