Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I am going to put the motion in a moment, which I think we should pass by acclamation and standing in our places. But, first, Bernard has passed me a note which I think I would like to convey to you all. He says, 'Thank you very much for your generous words.' He has also thanked the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, the Leader of The Nationals, the member for Grayndler and others for their most generous remarks. He says, 'It has been an honour to have worked for the House. I wish all members the very best.' How typical of Bernard to pass me a note to say thank you to people and do it in such a gracious way! Could we all stand in our places.

Question agreed to, honourable members standing in their places.
