I too rise today to offer my condolences to the family and friends of the Hon. Simon Crean on his passing.

In what has become a yearly tradition, on Easter Monday I took part in the Catalpa memorial event organised by the Australian Irish Heritage Association at the beautiful Catalpa Wild Geese Memorial in Rockingham.

When I was speaking in this debate in December, I was reflecting on the contributions and speeches of the new members of the parliamentary Labor Party after the 2022 election, so I resume by welcoming the new member for Spence, Matt Burnell, to the parliament

It is such a privilege to be here in this House this evening, representing the electorate of Brand, as it has been, of course, since I was elected in July 2016.

I rise today to celebrate and recognise the life of an Australian icon, Dame Olivia Newton-John, AC, DBE. Born in England in September 1948, Olivia Newton-John moved to Melbourne when she was five and made Australia her home.

I rise today to pay tribute to Judith Durham and to extend my deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones. Born in July 1943, she was lost to the nation on 5 August this year.

Well, it's been a big month of sport in my electorate of Brand, particularly for the Rockingham Rams Football and Netball Club.

On behalf of the electorate of Brand in Western Australia, I rise to offer condolences upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

I rise to join the Prime Minister and other honourable members in expressing my personal sadness and my deepest sympathies to the people of Japan at the passing, in such tragic circumstances, of Abe Shinzo, the former Prime Minister of Japan.

Hi, I'm Madeleine King, Labor's Shadow Minister for Resources and Trade. I'm also the member for Brand in Western Australia. I'd like to welcome everyone here today to the APPEA Conference in Brisbane.

I'd like to start by acknowledging the traditional owners of the country that I am on here in Dampier, but also that you are all on right around the country.
