Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Motions Members' Contribution MEMBERS' CONTRIBUTION The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (17:58): I move: That this council recognises the contribution of the Hon. Caroline Schaefer and the Hon. Robert Lawson to the parliament and the community of South Australia. It is with a great deal of pleasure and some sadness that I move this motion. On a personal level, I have certainly enjoyed working with Caroline and Robert here in the parliament for almost eight years. I knew both of them prior to that, and I probably knew Caroline a little better than Robert in the Liberal Party circles. I have certainly enjoyed the time I have had with them. My intention in moving this motion today is to allow members—after I have made my contribution—to add their thoughts and best wishes for the future of both members so that we do not end up with a long drawn-out valedictory on the last day of sitting. It will also give Caroline and Robert an opportunity to respond. I seek leave to conclude my remarks later. Leave granted; debate adjourned. [Sitting suspended from 18:01 to 19:48]
