Mr HUSIC (Chifley) (09:34): on indulgence—I'll speak very briefly on indulgence; I'm hoping to express more formal words on a very significant milestone. I just wanted to thank the assistant minister for bringing this to the House. I want to also commend Shadow Minister Tehan for his words. It does mean a lot to the Bosnian Australian community that the government sent a representative, particularly in the form of the assistant minister, to be present on the 30th commemoration. There are a lot of Bosnian Australians here in this country. Many migrated over a period of time. Many fled the horrors and have the scars that both the assistant minister and the shadow minister reflected upon, and there are many who came here beforehand who carry a deep guilt for being here at a time when their fellow citizens went through what they did. It's important that this parliament recognises the critical work that was undertaken by both the Keating government and the Howard government in being able to give safe passage to people who had witnessed or had experienced the horrors that we would wish on no-one. It stands the country in exceptionally good stead that our heart was on full display and that we gave people the opportunity to be able to start a new chapter in this country, and to be able to make their contributions in gratitude for the opportunity extended to them by a great country like ours.
