Alby Schultz (Hume, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I do not want to put a motza on the member for Maranoa, but I have to say that Bruce Scott was one of the best ministers of the portfolio that he held in the Howard government. I have known him to be a very honourable and honest individual and, believe it or not, I very much admire Bruce Scott. The fact that he is a member of the National Party—in fact, now he is a member of the LNP—does not really matter to me. He is a special individual, as is his wife, and I know that he will do a 100 per cent job as the Deputy Speaker in the House of Representatives for all members.
