John Hogg (Queensland, Deputy-President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Before the Senate adjourns this evening, on behalf of other senators in this place, I want to make a final statement on the fine service that John Vander Wyk has provided. I know other people have made statements. I think it is appropriate at the conclusion of the sitting fortnight, and just prior to the retirement of John Vander Wyk, that we acknowledge, once again, the fine work that he has performed over 32 years for this Senate. He will, undoubtedly, be missed and I welcome him as a future citizen of the state of Queensland.
