I inform the Senate of the resignation of Senator Santo Santoro and Senator Amanda Vanstone and table their letters of resignation. I also table copies of letters to the Governors of South Australia and Queensland notifying them of the vacancies in the representation of those states. I have received, through His Excellency the Governor-General, copies of certificates of the choice by the parliament of Queensland of Suzanne Kay Boyce as a senator to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Santoro, and the choice by the parliament of South Australia of Simon John Birmingham as a senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Ferris. I table the documents.
