Bill Shorten Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
4:42 pm
I would like to congratulate Mr Elder on his appointment. The opposition completely supports this appointment. We have great confidence in the work that you will perform, just as we have had great confidence in you, especially in recent years when the last parliament gave rise to all sorts of circumstances and tested your mettle. The opposition has great confidence that you will continue in the very high standard of professionalism that has been set by Bernard Wright.
