And I say to Marise Payne: her deeds are something she will be judged very well for: for the legacy she leaves, for the changes she's made for women, for our international placing as a country, for her community of Western Sydney—the list goes on, but you, being judged on your deeds, will be respected and regarded so well into the future not just by Liberals but by Australians more broadly.

And, while you are a serious contributor and not to be fooled with or mistaken for a staffer—woe betide the individual that does that!—you weren't allergic to a laugh, that's for sure. The one thing you can be guaranteed, Marise, is that those jokes remain in the chamber of secrets here! And, while you might be on a bus out of town, you will remain a very close friend for me and someone I will go to for advice in the future. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing what comes next.
