Members

Member's Leave

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:22): I move:

That maternity leave of absence be granted to the Hon. J.M.A. Lensink until the first day of resumption of the Legislative Council in 2016.

Very briefly, I know that every member of this chamber joins me in wishing the Hon. Michelle Lensink every best wish for the imminent birth and the arrival of—

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: Young Ian.

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS: Well, I heard a rumour that he is going to be called Neville, but I am not sure if that is true. I think everyone in this chamber will join me on this momentous occasion, because it is the first time, I understand, that maternity leave has been needed to be granted in the Legislative Council. We do sincerely wish you every best wish and, as was said earlier, we will probably miss you more than you will miss us.

Motion carried.

The PRESIDENT: May our best wishes go with you.
