Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (12:15): by leave—I want to congratulate the Howard government on the reallocation of the Defence Force facility that Senator Macdonald has been referring to to the beautiful city of Townsville, which I had the pleasure of revisiting just a few months ago. I also want to congratulate the Gillard government on the expenditure described in the amendment which has gone to carrying on that good work and that development in Townsville. There are some contentious developments in Townsville, but I would agree with the reference to positive developments that Senator Macdonald made. It does indicate that not all the developments there are without contention. I think it is a good motion, and we are proud to have supported it.
