Mr McCORMACK (Riverina—Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development and Leader of The Nationals) (14:01): The government welcomes this year's joint recipients of the National Police Bravery Award: officers Mark Turner and Linda Farrand from the Northern Territory police service. They have gone above and beyond in their everyday duties. They have put their lives on the line to protect a member of the community. They have demonstrated exceptional acts in exceptional circumstances. On behalf of all Australians: thank you for what you have done and what you will continue to do to protect our people and our communities. Today is National Thank a Cop Day. I would like to acknowledge all serving and former police officers, and those who have worn a uniform in any capacity. I would like to also acknowledge those former police officers who serve in our House of Representatives, including the members for Cowper, Dickson, Wide Bay, La Trobe and Richmond.
