Speaker 1
Are there any statements by honorable members? The member for Warringah.

Speaker 2
Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Today marks the start of Emergency Ready Week.
It aims to encourage all Australians to prepare for emergencies and disasters before they strike. It comes as weather forecasts warn that a powerful El Niño is expected to bring hotter and drier conditions this spring and summer. That is likely to mean heatwaves, bushfires and drought. Alarmingly, new Red Cross research out today in fact shows that millennials are the generation least prepared for a disaster. 71% of Australians aged 30 to 45 have no physical provisions for an emergency.
Now of course these are the people building careers, raising families, they need practical support to protect themselves and their children. In Warringah and across Australia, preparedness must be a priority. We can't afford to wait. Households can't carry the burden and responsibility alone.
