Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Earlier this week, I received a message from Brad Hazzard, the Minister for Health in New South Wales, and he gave me the courtesy of telling me that he'd be retiring after 30 years in the parliament. Brad Hazzard is someone who I regard as a friend and someone who's made an enormous contribution, particularly as the Minister for Health during the global pandemic. Brad Hazzard is someone who has always been prepared to reach across the aisle to deliver outcomes, whether that be in New South Wales or whether that be between New South Wales and the national parliament. I regard him as also being a very patient man. He waited a very, very long time to become a minister after many long years in opposition. I wish him and his family well in the future, and I thank him for the constructive relationship that we've had during my time in the national parliament.
