Acknowledgments — Hon Anne Tolley—Service as Presiding Officer

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Can I, on behalf of the House, acknowledge your role as Deputy Speaker for this term of Parliament. You have served in that role, I think, in a very impartial and fair manner, chairing the House through a number of different pieces of legislation—some have been more controversial than others. This is, of course, the first time that you have had the opportunity to chair question time, and as it may be the last, on behalf of the House can I thank you for your service in that role.

Thank you very much.

[Applause]
