Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (17:10): I would like to just make a few comments about our relationship over the course of time. My first understanding of who you were was coming into this place in 2010. There was a huge uproar on this side of the house to our understanding that you rebranded yourself. You came into your second term. You branded yourself ... -

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier, Minister for Defence and Space Industries) (16:58): Mr Speaker, I rise to talk about you, mate. The SPEAKER: I wanted to sit you down. The Hon. P.B.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Mining) (17:18): I will be the last speaker on your valedictory because the government has business to get on with. I just want to say this: I am an observer of politics. Antony Green in the ABC studios at the last election—we were off camera—came over to the console, where ... -

The SPEAKER (16:12): I might seek the indulgence of the house, if that is okay, just to make a few comments on this final day of parliament for a few of us. I want to begin by thanking my 28,000 bosses. They are the people of Mawson who have backed me in for five elections since 2006. They are the people who I absolutely love and adore. It is an a... -

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (17:20): I will try to be quick because there is a lot being said about your stellar career. I was one of 10 of us who came in here in 2006 after a raft of elections. I think the member for Light, Tony Piccolo, and I are still running at the next election and we will see what happens there. One thing I will say is you are one... -

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (18:33): I just want to make a few short observations. I have not known Lee as long as many others in this place. We really got to know each other when we both served on the opposition front bench, and I just want to note that I do not know that it is terribly common that we have had too many people who have had the frontline e... -

Mr BROWN (Florey) (17:54): I will be brief because I know that people are waiting to give their valedictories. I first met the member for Lee in 2003 when, one week after I had started working for the Treasurer, he started working for the Treasurer. I have to say that over the two years that we worked together in the Treasurer's office I was struc... -

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Tourism, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (18:24): I first met Lee 30 years ago because I was dating one of his friends. That boyfriend is long gone but our friendship has remained all this time. I think about what we have achieved. There was a time period in the mid-nineties when youth unemployment w... -

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning) (18:28): I have known the member for Elizabeth for a long time, since the days of the Salisbury UniBar where we met at university. I am not going to tell any of those stories today, for obvious reasons, but what wa... -

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Mining) (17:43): I am very sad that Stephen is leaving. I am very sad. He is someone who the party had promoted and supported and, as a grouping, we had always wanted him to do well and succeed—and he has. The thing about most of us in this place is we do not get to choose t...
