I thank the Minister of State and Senator Cummins.

While we await the Minister for Senator Buttimer's Commencement matter, I would like to welcome the young people and their teachers in the Gallery. It is wonderful to have them here. They are witnessing the part of the day, known as Commencement Matters, where Senators raise particular issues with Ministers and get responses. They are in the Houses of democracy and I hope some day one of them will be here representing their community.
