I join with you, Mr Speaker, in saying to Cheryl: thank you for everything that you have done for government members in your occupation as supervisor of the attendants, and I know that means your duties are not just here in this chamber but throughout Parliament House. It is very appreciated by government members. I was gesturing before at the member for Chisholm because I have had such a rap for Cheryl from the member for Chisholm that I easily could give an hour-and-a-half address on the things that she has done in the role that she performs, but I do not know whether or not that hour-and-a-half address is appropriate at this stage, Mr Speaker. But I do want to say a very big thankyou from us to you, Cheryl, and we wish you all the best in your retirement.
