I begin by paying tribute to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the staff of the aid agency GOAL and the Minister for Foreign Affairs for the role they played in securing the safe release of Sharon Commins and her colleague, Hilda Kawuki, from captivity in Darfur. The strength and courage they demonstrated has been remarkable and is a credit to them. We are delighted with the successful outcome and the fact that the women have been released.
