Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

I rise on indulgence, Mr Speaker. I worked closely with Ron Silberberg in my capacity as Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. He was a great supporter of many of the policies of the former government, including the establishment of the Building and Construction Commission. I too, on behalf of members on this side, wish him well in his retirement.
