Sue Lines (WA, Deputy-President) Share this | Hansard source

by leave—as Deputy President, I join my remarks to those of the President. I worked with Tony after becoming Deputy President of the Senate, and I can also say that he was very inclusive. Certainly the President and I did a lot with the Speaker, and I had the honour of attending a couple of conferences with him. He was very inclusive and certainly never played the political card in any of the roles that I saw him in. I'm sad that he's going, but I wish him well in whatever he does next. I thank him particularly for supporting me as the Deputy President.
