 David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (09:42): But in fact the main reason I want to stand today, on top of those, is to just mark the terrible natural disaster unfolding in Syria and in Türkiye. The images on our televisions are those that nobody can fail to be moved by – that baby being brought forward from the rubble. There are just such terrible outcomes that are occurring now, and I certainly appeal to the authorities to do everything they can and for us as community members to work with those voluntary organisations that will assist. I think the hearts of everyone in this chamber go out to everyone that is impacted – so many hundreds of people and so many lives are lost.
