Leave of Absence

Monday, 26 October 2026 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House

3:19 pm

I move:

That leave of absence until 26 November 2026 be given to Dr Haines.

In moving this, I make clear we've simply chosen the date that's the end of sittings for this year. Obviously, we will continue to move resolutions for as long as Helen needs us to, but no leave of absence motion stops the fact that, if at any moment Helen feels she's ready to come, then, obviously, she's immediately welcome.

Question agreed to.
