VALEDICTORIES

The SPEAKER: Member for Hammond, I will give you my indulgence, as it is the last day of the year.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (17:30): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have certainly appreciated working with you over this last year. It was remiss of me to miss a few people out, and I will be very brief. I do not want to hold up the house, but I would like to thank my staff for everything they do for me. Helen in the Whip's office here does a fantastic job; all my electorate office staff; Jess Keen up here as well; our Legislative Council Whip, John Dawkins, and his staff. I would also like to thank my deputy whip for his contribution throughout the year, Peter Treloar, the member for Flinders.

It is extremely remiss of me to forget one of minister Conlon's staff who has been one of the conduits in conducting the Whip's duties, Mary-Lou Corcoran. l hope Mary-Lou forgives me for forgetting her in my earlier remarks. Thank you for your indulgence, Madam Speaker.

The SPEAKER (17:31): Thank you, members. I also failed to mention in my closing comments Mr Bob Fisher, who is well-known to all of us who have drivers. I certainly hope he gets all he deserves for Christmas, particularly after his efforts today.


At 17:31 the house adjourned until Tuesday, 14 February 2012 at 11:00.
