Parliamentary Representation

MEMBER, CHANGE OF NAME

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:32): l seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: I wish to inform the chamber that I have ceased using my previous married surname of Jennings and will resume using my previous surname of Franks. While I am incredibly sad and the process of divorce is a most painful one, the reclamation of my previous name of Tammy Franks as the one that I have used the majority of my adult life has given me some sense of comfort in this turbulent time. I am certainly not the first person to grapple with these issues in Australia or South Australia, and I am certainly not even the first person in this parliament to undergo such a process. I thank those members who have been supportive for their kindness.
