It has come to my attention that it is the member for Kennedy's birthday today. I think we should recognise the fact that he has been quite a personality around this place and a friend of many of us. I would like to wish him a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Bob.

I thank the member for McMillan. That was a timely intervention. I am glad it is the member for Kennedy's birthday. I am even more pleased that he is here with us so that we can wish him a happy birthday. I thank the member for McMillan for raising it at the first opportunity to maximise the chance of the member for Kennedy being here.

I thank the member for McMillan for raising this issue. I want to make sure, consistent with his career as the scrupulously independent member for Kennedy, that both sides of parliament wish him a happy birthday.

I would give the call to the member for Kennedy, but he is not at his seat.
