In self-indulgence and as a tribute to children of all members and senators who have to cope with having a parent in public life, I wish my daughter Amanda a happy 21st birthday for today. As a parliamentarian, I have missed more birthdays of Amanda than I have attended, and she is a great credit to my wife Michelle who has shouldered the parenting duties. I am very proud of her achievements to this date and I wish her every success and achievement in the future.
