I move:

That leave of absence from the determination of this sitting until 24 October 2022 be given to Mr Rae for parental leave purposes.

To Sam and to his family—his partner, Zoe, and their kids, Hunny and Banji—I say: good luck with the journey ahead. It is a good thing that this parliament now recognises, across the parliament, the rights of fathers and mothers to spend time with their newborns when they come along or when they're coming along. So I very much wish Sam and all of his family all the best. We look forward to his returning after 24 October, in time for the Treasurer's budget.

Question agreed to.
