          <by role="member" id="4991">Mr DULUK:</by>  This morning, I was found not guilty of the charge brought against me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have cleared my name. I would like to express my gratitude to my family, friends and the many people in my community of Waite for their support and encouragement. In reflecting on the magistrate's remarks today, I once again reiterate the personal apology I conveyed to Ms Bonaros after the event in December 2019.</text>
        <text id="2021082494a7c489161049a2a0000876">Through a lot of reflection and plenty of love and support of my family and friends, as well as the commitment and support of my staff at my electorate office, I know that I stand here today a stronger, happier and better person, having addressed the causes of my behaviour that night. I remain committed to continuing to serve the people of Waite. I remain committed to working and ensuring that this place is a better place. I will continue to work closely with my community and colleagues from across the chamber and the parliament to champion the issues that matter to the people I represent.</text>
