Before I call the man of the hour, I would also like to express my best wishes to you and your family for the future, Senator Ellison. For those of us that have families, particularly young families, our diaries are organised around our political duties and we often miss important family events and social occasions. I hope that, in whatever you choose to do outside this place, your life can now be set by your family diary. I am sure that your family, who are here today, are embracing with open arms your decision to resign from the Senate.
