Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:10): I move: That leave of absence from today until 27 November 2025 be given to Ms Payne for parental leave purposes. Speaking to that, if I may, I can inform the House that Joseph Douglas Phillips arrived over the weekend—the newest ACT constituent. Young Joseph weighed 3.7 kilograms and was 49.5 centimetres long.

Mum and young Joseph are going very, very well and are delightful. I have seen some fantastic photos of the very, very happy family. So, to Alicia and her partner, Ben—I'm sure on behalf of everyone in this House—congratulations.

We look forward to meeting young Joseph when he arrives here, although 27 November is the last sitting day of parliament. I'm not sure if it goes to 5 pm that day, but maybe young Joseph can drop in and say g'day to us on that day. Question agreed to.
