Before I move a formal motion adjourning the House, I think it is appropriate to say that, whilst formal valedictories have previously been made, this will be the last occasion that the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Ian Harris, sits in the clerk’s chair. At this late stage of a ‘Thursday’ sitting we should reflect upon that and again record our thanks, our admiration but most of all our enduring respect and regard for his substantial contribution to this parliament.
