BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of the ACT Party to acknowledge the passing of the great Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Mr Gorbachev showed extraordinary leadership and increased human freedoms for hundreds of millions of people living in the former Soviet Union. His actions reunified a divided Germany, removed the Iron Curtain that divided Europe after the Second World War, and brought the Cold War to an end peacefully. He is one of the great leaders of the 20th century.
