STATEMENTS ON INDULGENCE

Mr KATTER (Kennedy) (15:17): Mr Speaker, I make the point that there are a lot of people over in this corner of the parliament. Mr Speaker, when you decided to become Speaker instead of taking on a senior portfolio, I asked you, 'Why are you doing this?' You said, 'Because I want to make the parliament work.' I think that you've gone a long way to achieving that, and I think future generations will thank you for that.
