Mr HOWARD (Prime Minister) (3:00 PM) —With the indulgence of the House, I know that many in the House would want me to briefly mention that Kerrie Nairn, the wife of the honourable member for Eden-Monaro, Gary Nairn, died last Thursday evening after a short illness. Kerrie was well known and liked by so many on this side of the House. They had two children, Benjamin and Deborah. The illness was diagnosed only a short time ago. She fought a very brave battle against it, taking a very courageous decision a short while ago to give up chemotherapy treatment. She died at home, as anybody would hope to do in those circumstances, surrounded by her husband, her two children and other members of the family and having recently been visited by close friends. I know that Gary would appreciate this reference and that the thoughts of all members of the House will be with him at this very sad time.
