Responses

Gayle TIERNEY (Western Victoria – Minister for Skills and TAFE, Minister for Regional Development) (18:50): Can I also join in thanking people and of course wishing them all the best. Hopefully they will be able to spend some very good quality time with family over the festive season. Can I thank in particular staff connected to the cleaning regime, Hansard, catering, the library, orderlies and of course security; our very wise clerks, who have assisted in making sure that this chamber has operated smoothly; and you, President, for your stewardship and leadership throughout the year. Can I thank everyone for their professionalism and their care, and for those that are not politicians, we thank you for putting up with the noise that we make from time to time. This is your workplace, and we just wish that you do get the chance of taking advantage of not hearing our voices over the next couple of weeks.

In response to the adjournments, there were 17 this evening and they will be referred to the relevant ministers.
