I accept that from the Minister, and thank her for it. I do not want to press this. I was guilty of being a highly inexperienced volunteer many years ago, when I had only just arrived in Australia by a matter of weeks. I found myself being a marshal in some sort of riding event—and horses and sailors do not mix. I was stuck in the middle of a dry river creek miles from anywhere, and spent the whole afternoon, during which I saw about half a dozen horses go past, thinking that there was a tigersnake hiding under every stone around me. It was a terrifying experience, in more ways than one! Volunteers are not always experienced, unfortunately, and we have to take that into account. But I thank the Minister and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
