It is with deep regret that I inform honourable senators of the death on 31 March 2012 of Senator Judith Anne Adams, who served Australia and Western Australia with distinction in this place from 2005.

I understand it is the wish of the Senate that today it deal only with the swearing in of Senator Smith, followed by condolence motions for Senator Adams and former member of the House of Representatives Lionel Bowen.
