Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): Mr Speaker, on indulgence: I note what the Prime Minister said is being done by the government. I express the thought that this will be of great interest, as well as to Senator Joyce, to the member for Maranoa and to the member for Parkes. When I spoke to the member for Maranoa last Friday, he was helping his community to prepare sandbags in Roma. When I spoke to the member for Parkes last Friday, he was readying his truck and his bobcat to help with the cleanup. It is good that the government is institutionally coming to help these people, as local members have been doing on the ground over the last two days.
