As some of you may be aware, today marks the last occasion on which Senate attendant Adrienne Morrison will assist us in the chamber. Adrienne joined the Senate department as a Senate attendant on 4 October 2006, initially engaged to support the 41st Parliament.

Honourable senators: Come out, Adrienne!

Come out, Adrienne! Adrienne has continued with the chamber team, providing support to senators for 15 years. Since 2006, Adrienne has served six presidents, three clerks and five Ushers of the Black Rod. Adrienne has also been present for four openings of the parliament and the swearing in of three governors-general. All of us have firsthand experience of Adrienne's professionalism, dedication to her work and provision of service to the highest standard. I am sure that all senators will join me in thanking Adrienne for her exceptional service to the Senate and wishing her a long and leisurely retirement. Thank you very much, Adrienne.
