In the gallery this afternoon is Louise Yaxley, who has been the ABC parliamentary bureau chief for a very long time. She has spent 28 years covering politics in this House and tomorrow she will end what has been an absolutely sensational career. Louise Yaxley is always professional, she is courteous and she is knowledgeable, and she has added to the quality of political discourse in this country through her work in the AM, PM, The World Today, ABC current affairs and ABC News programs. She is someone who is much loved across the parliament and is respected by all who have had contact with her. She brings to the profession of journalism honour, respect and integrity. I pay tribute to her on her final day, which happens to be as well the 90th anniversary of the ABC, our national broadcaster, which will be celebrated tomorrow at the ABC headquarters in Ultimo. Well done, Louise.
