Mr Speaker, on behalf of the Liberal and National parties, we would like to thank Peter Fowler for his service to the parliament and the nation since 1982, particularly in terms of our procedures and our practices since 1989. I don't think it is unfair to say that Peter Fowler is to procedure what Johnathan Thurston is to rugby.

Honourable members: Rugby league!
