House debates Condolences

Baird, Hon. Bruce George, AM; Reference to Federation Chamber

Monday, 12 October 2026 House of Representatives

Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

I move:

That the resumption of the debate on the Speaker's announcement relating to the death of Mr Bruce Baird be referred to the Federation Chamber.

I, along with, I'm sure, a number of other members who served with Bruce Baird, would like to make a contribution. He was truly a great Australian and, whilst not a minister in this place, of course played a very critical role in the Sydney Olympics bid in my home city in 2000. He is fondly remembered, and I think members should have the opportunity to continue the discussion.

Question agreed to.
