Mr President, what a great honour it is that the Senate has given you today. I know that you are very proud and I know that your wife and grandchildren and also the people who have been supporting you over many years will be so proud of you too. Fergie, you have a great reputation for fairness and honesty and for being a really decent bloke. I wish you well on behalf of my National Party colleagues. I know that you will be fair and responsible, just as your predecessor was. I offer you the congratulations of the National Party.
