PARLIAMENTARY OFFICE HOLDERS

Senator WATERS (Queensland—Leader of the Australian Greens) (17:15): I rise briefly on behalf of the Australian Greens to congratulate Senator Brockman, a former president now returning as the Deputy President. I'm sure that you will do a great job. Senator McLachlan, you will be really missed in your former role, and I'd like to commend your impeccable chamber management, diligence and fair-handedness.

We are sad to see you go. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, senators. Once again, Senator Brockman, I extend my congratulations to you.

I look forward to us working together as the President and the Deputy President and Chair of Committees. Thank you.
