I inform the Senate that I have received a letter from Senator Coonan resigning her place as a senator for the state of New South Wales. Pursuant to the provisions of section 21 of the Constitution, I have notified the Governor of New South Wales of the vacancy in the representation of that state caused by the resignation. I table the letter and a copy of my letter to the Governor.
