Mr Speaker, on indulgence, I congratulate you, not only on a personal level but also on behalf of the Nationals. It's truly a great honour which you've had bestowed.

I have the great honour to inform the House that the Nationals have elected me as leader. The honourable member for Parkes has been appointed as the Nationals Chief Whip and the honourable member for Nicholls as the Nationals Whip.
