Mr SWAN (Lilley—Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (14:00): I want to make some remarks on the Paralympians, who returned from London just this morning. I had the pleasure, along with the Leader of the Opposition, the Minister for Disability Reform and a number of other MPs, to be there this morning to welcome the team. It was a great honour. It was great to see so many of their family and friends there and to see how excited they were, because the success of the Paralympians in these games was truly spectacular—85 medals in the games, fifth overall in the medal tally, and, of course, we beat the USA when it came to gold medals. This team was particularly excited. The swimming team in particular did very well. There were some absolutely remarkable individual achievements. They wowed the crowds in London, but here the ratings were the highest the Paralympic Games have ever had in domestic Australian television. So this was one of the best teams ever. There were a record number of countries taking part in the games, and for us to come fifth in the medal count means that these Paralympians are well and truly Australia's golden team. They left these shores a few weeks ago with high hopes. They did not just realise those hopes; they exceeded them by far. They blew them right out of the water. It was just so pleasing to see all of the Paralympians there today, the years of hard work and discipline and dedication paying off for so many of those athletes this morning. On behalf of everyone in this House, I think, I can truly say we are proud of each and every one of them.
