Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I want to inform members of the recent death of Mr Bernard Harris. Bernie retired in 2002, having been the Chief Hansard Reporter. He worked in the parliament for 38 years, all of those with Hansard. He dedicated his career and his work to this parliament, and he took an active interest in parliamentary matters after his retirement. I extend, on behalf of the House, our sympathy to his family and friends, and I just wanted to pass on the news to members.
