Just before everybody leaves the chamber, I have a short statement. I inform the House today that it is the last question time for Terry Malcolm from ABC's parliamentary broadcasting team. Most of us do not know Terry's face. Just about all of us know Terry's voice. After 37 years in the booth, Terry is about to retire. On behalf of members past and present, I thank Terry for his professionalism and dedication to bringing the proceedings of this House to the public for so many years. Thousands of listeners across the country have relied on Terry's explanations about what is happening in the chamber as we go about our business. Terry, your voice and your calm manner will be greatly missed. I am sure that all members will join me in thanking you for your services and wishing you well in your retirement.

Honourable members: Hear, hear.
