Mr QUICK (9:58 AM) —In the short time remaining in this debate before we consider legislation, I would like to place on the record my tribute to Bruce Ruxton, who retired yesterday. Whilst I do not necessarily agree with everything he said, he has worked tirelessly for the veteran community in Australia over a long period of time. He has stirred governments of both political persuasions to make sure that veterans and war widows have been looked after. We should pay a great mark of respect to him and all the other people in the veteran community who work tirelessly, day in and day out, to make sure that their commitment over a long period of time is not forgotten by people in this House.
