Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health and Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

I would like to thank the House for the opportunity to sum up these important bills in the aged care sector: the Aged Care (Bond Security) Bill 2005, the Aged Care (Bond Security) Levy Bill 2005 and the Aged Care Amendment (2005 Measures No. 1) Bill 2005. I would also like to apologise to the member for Shortland for trying to cut her off before question time, not realising that the speakers list had moved around a little. I would also like to thank the member for Shortland and the opposition generally for their support for the bills. I would like to thank the members for Reid, Rankin, Cowper, Banks, Riverina, Fowler, Hasluck, Chisholm, Canberra and Calare for their contributions.
