I'll ignore the petty interjections. I took the Manager of Opposition Business's statement as a serious attempt to commend the former member for Indi and the Speaker for their excellent work. I didn't think it was some sort of political tactic because—

Mr Albanese interjecting—

I note the Leader of the Opposition is now interjecting on us also. I would simply like to commend the Manager of Opposition Business for bringing this matter to the attention of the House. The government is very pleased to support the comments of the Manager of Opposition Business in commending both the former member for Indi—and I acknowledge the former member for Indi—and you, Mr Speaker, in particular, for your work. Mr Speaker, your stewardship of this House is absolutely exemplary, and we thank you for your stewardship of it every single day. Thank you.
