The Nationals and Liberal Party Leadership and Office Holders

by leave—I congratulate Senator Joyce on his appointment as Leader of the Nationals in the Senate. I was not in the chamber when I understand he made that announcement this morning, so on behalf of the government I congratulate him on his election, wish him well and hope that his independent mind continues to be on display in his new role.
I also acknowledge Senator Scullion’s performance as Leader of the Nationals in the Senate previously. His contribution to the Senate will no doubt continue, but I do appreciate the leadership he provided and the constructive way he did his duties. Also, on behalf of the Labor government, I acknowledge Senator Ellison’s announcement today that he is stepping down from the front bench. Senator Ellison has always been a worthy and decent opponent, and I wish him all the best for the future. I understand he is staying with us for a while, but I do acknowledge his service both as a minister and as a frontbencher for the Liberal Party.
