 Nick McGOWAN (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:16): Last but not least, I also offer my condolences to the people of both Nepal and China and all of those citizens here who have heritage of those countries. The mudslide that occurred on 26 August was absolutely devastating. To contemplate for a moment that we lost 1300 lives in that singular incident is breathtaking and tragic at the same time, to say nothing of the people who remain lost to this day and the lives that will be forever changed. We offer our deepest thoughts to those two countries, both China and Nepal.
