I welcome Dr. Manning to the House. All Senators have made great contributions so I will be brief. I want to speak for one sector of society, namely, carers. They have been fighting for their rights for years. What they offer to society is amazing. We should not ask what they cost the State, rather we should ask what they save the State. A carers strategy should be implemented as soon as possible to address their rights. I would like to hear Dr. Manning's opinion on what carers do for society.
