Senator Bradford acknowledged also, as I did in my contribution, the extraordinary distances. I was struck by Senator McDowell's points about the different states and where the ten states were 12 years ago. An astonishing amount of history is happening before our eyes. We should stand back and savour the moment to understand what is happening. Both Senators acknowledged the tremendous transition that is being made. Senator Ormonde touched on the common fears emerging in the ten accession countries. She rightly pointed out that these are concerns which arose here, concerns about their culture, individuality, whether they would be swamped and whether they would lose out. All they have to do is look at Ireland.
