Michael McCormack (Riverina, National Party, Shadow Minister for International Development and the Pacific) Share this | Hansard source

I did give him one of those forms; I'm yet to get it back! He's given more than 1,100 speeches in this place, which is an effort. It'd be in the top percentile for number of speeches given by members since federation. I have got him on that! Every one of them had the passion and sincerity brought to this place from his electorate. I commend him for his role as a local member, I commend him for his role as a minister, and I commend him for his role as a friend.
