May I add to Brian Harris' list "The Power of One" another - Senator Brian Harradine.

When one reads a short history of our senator one is astounded at his achievements.

He has been an example of Christian courage to us all, as well as a genial, delightful family man and a defender of the dignity of life of the human person.

As one of the more "vulnerable" members of Australian society I am grateful and thankful to our Senator.
