Mr FLETCHER (Bradfield—Manager of Opposition Business) (14:12): on indulgence—I associate the opposition with the comments that have been made about the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science and extend our congratulations to all of the winners—a very impressive and distinguished collection of Australians. I particularly want to mention the two awardees for science teaching, George Pantazis and Veena Nair. The diversity, both in terms of gender and the national backgrounds of those who won awards, was particularly noticeable and speaks volumes for Australia as a nation.
