by leave—I would like to join with the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate in congratulating the Leader of the Government in the Senate and those opposite for their win and their ascension to the treasury bench. I would also like to inform the Senate that I am the Leader of the National Party in the Senate. My deputy is Senator Ron Boswell and the National Party Whip in the Senate will be Senator Fiona Nash.

I would like to join both the leaders in congratulating Lorna and wishing her well, particularly with her grandchildren in Brisbane.
