Mr President, I too wish to add words of congratulations to you on winning this election. We look forward to you presiding over this chamber with fairness and integrity and know that you will do this. I also acknowledge your predecessor and indicate to Senator Calvert that we have appreciated his presidency in this place too. One final word: if you would not mind, bear in mind that there is a crossbench down the end of the chamber and that it will occasionally need your attention. Good luck, Mr President, and we welcome you to this position.
