I inform the Senate that Senator Calvert resigned his place as a senator for the state of Tasmania on 29 August 2007. Pursuant to the provisions of section 21 of the Constitution, the Governor of Tasmania was notified of the vacancy in the representation of that state. I table the letter of resignation and a copy of the letter to the Governor of Tasmania.

I have received, through the Governor-General, from the Governor of Tasmania, a copy of the certificate of the choice by the houses of parliament of Tasmania of David Christopher Bushby to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Calvert. I table the document.
