Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I wish to associate myself with the remarks that have been made in the chamber today, because together they form a parliamentary eulogy for a remarkable man, a man whom, as a young political aspirant, I met before he became Prime Minister and continued to know after he left that great office. My thoughts and wishes are for Tamie and her family and the children.

I note it was appropriate, also, to have had with us in the chamber for most of the debate today a man who had a close association with Prime Minister Fraser for 50 years, and that was Tony Eggleton. It was most appropriate that he was here and on the floor of the House.

I understand it is the wish of honourable members to signify at this stage their respect and sympathy by rising in their places.

Question agreed to, honourable members standing in their places.

Debate adjourned.
