We all bring our own little bit of knowledge to these Houses, but we have a Senator here who brings exceptional knowledge when it comes to the issue before us today, namely, the welfare of dogs.

The general feeling in rural communities is that this is one of our core...

I believe that the majority of farmers really welcome...

Tim Lombard: ...their opening statement. Many issues have been covered regarding the infrastructure, the care fund and the IT upgrade, which are all very positive steps.
