My interaction with Senator Jim Molan reminds me that it's not how long you have but what you do with the time you have. I came into the Senate on 1 July 2022, so I had just a few interactions with Senator Molan, but he did leave a big impression. I immediately understood that he was a deep listener and a respectful responder. His service with distinction meant I already knew he had courage. I learnt from that, in that brief time that I had with him, that his special gift was also helping others to recognise their own courage and the immense potential in themselves.

Thank you to his family for sharing him with us; for sharing him with those in the Defence Force that relied on his leadership; and for sharing Senator Molan with this parliament and with Australia.
