Andrew McLachlan (SA, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

My fellow senators, I seek your support for election to the position of Deputy President. I ask senators to think of me kindly and to have regard for my work as temporary chair and my work as chair of other committees during my time in the Senate. I hope that, when you turn your minds to this, it will be a testament to the dedication that I will bring to the role. If I am successful at ballot, I will do all I can to support the President, who is a senator I hold in the highest regard.
