Adjournment Debate

VALEDICTORIES

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (17:43): I move:

That the council at its rising adjourn until Tuesday 8 September 2009 at 2.15pm.

As we are about to begin a seven-week winter recess, I wish all members and their staff—and, indeed, all the staff of Parliament House—a refreshing break. I trust that everyone will be able to avoid the swine flu, or any other variation of the flu (whatever lurgies are going around at this time of year), and return in good health and very much refreshed in September when we resume for the final stretch before the 2010 election.

Again, I wish members a healthy break. It is an opportunity for members to go out into their electorate, and out into the state, and catch up with electors and with their own families. As I said, I trust that members will have a refreshing break over the winter period.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (17:45): I reiterate the comments made by the Leader of the Government. On behalf of the opposition, I wish to thank all members in this chamber, members opposite on the crossbenches, the staff, the hardworking, long-suffering Hansard staff, who look after us and make sense of some of our ramblings, all the catering staff, and, in particular, the opposition's staff on the second floor.

As members know, we have had some changes in the past couple of weeks, so I especially would like to thank the staff up on the second floor, who are hardworking, loyal and keep the wheels of opposition turning for us. I wish everybody a good and relaxing break. I indicate to the government that there is a massive number of invitations for the new leader to get out and about in the community, because people are quite excited about Isobel Redmond.

The PRESIDENT (17:46): I also wish all honourable members and Parliament House staff a happy and healthy break. I will see you all back here in September.

Motion carried.


At 17:46 the council adjourned until Tuesday 8 September 2009 at 14:15.
