I remind those who are still present that the address-in-reply will be returned to His Excellency the Governor-General at Government House at 5 pm today, so I'd be glad if the mover and seconder, together with other honourable members, would accompany me. In practical terms that means I will suspend the House at the conclusion of the MPI, being round about 4.20, and, when we get back, have the bells rung at an appropriate time, in consultation with the Leader of the House, but normally that would be around 6 pm.
