I, and also on behalf of all senators, move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes that the former Deputy Clerk of the Senate, Miss Anne Lynch, was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) on 12 June 2006 for service to support parliamentary processes, particularly the administration of the practice of the Senate and its committees, to promotion and understanding of the role of the Senate, and to assisting parliaments of Pacific Island states; and

(b)

congratulates Miss Lynch on this award which recognises her dedication to the service of the Senate over 32 and a half years.

Question agreed to.

I note the applause that broke out.

Kay Patterson (Victoria, Liberal Party) | Link to this | Hansard source

She would not approve of that.

John Hogg (Queensland, Deputy-President) | Link to this | Hansard source

No, she would not approve, but I noted it anyway, Senator Patterson.
