COLE, MS J.

The Hon. L.R. BREUER (Giles) (15:20): I want to make note of the retirement of Joy Cole, another person who, in her many years here, made a real impact on this place. Joy started here in catering in July 1988. She became an attendant in March 1990, and she ceased duty on 25 October this year. Joy was one of the most helpful, caring people in this chamber and was always able to assist members; she knew where everything was; and she put up with hours and hours of endless debates, tantrums and late-night nonsense in this place for many years.

She has had some serious health issues in the last couple of years, and we have really missed her. She was a true professional and a loyal and dedicated staff member who quietly went about her work and did not seek any recognition for what she did. We will really miss her—members and staff alike. We wish her every best wish. Every time I smell Red Door perfume I will think of Joy, who always left that wonderful scent behind her. Good luck to you, Joy; we will miss you.
