Day, Mr Bob, AO

The government acknowledges and thanks Bob Day for his service to the Senate, the parliament and the people of South Australia. Bob Day resigned from the Senate to deal with the collapse of his housing construction business. Bob Day has very honourably given personal guarantees to his company's creditors, so he and his family will be directly affected by these events. As honourable senators know, there are a number of unresolved issues pertaining to Mr Day's candidacy for election as a senator and his business interests. In those circumstances, and until those matters are resolved, the government will not be supporting the motion.
