It is with deep regret that I inform the Senate of the death on 9 February 2016, of the Honourable Robert George (Bob) Halverson, OBE, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives and member for the division of Casey. Prior to calling the Leader of the Government in the Senate, I also draw attention to senators of the presence today in the public gallery of Mr Halverson's daughter, son in law and grandson, and we offer our deepest sympathy to members of the family.
