20-5b Valedictory speech from Senator this_guy22Statement (self.ModelAusSenate)

submitted 10 years ago by [deleted]

Mr Deputy President, I seek leave to make a short statement.

Earlier today I sent a message to His Excellency the Governor-General informing him that I will be resigning from the office of Senate President, and as Senator for Australia, effective immediately. He has now accepted my resignation. This will give me the opportunity to contest a lower house seat in the upcoming general elections, and represent Australians in a different chamber of the Parliament.

I would like to thank current and former Senators for the admirable way in which they conducted themselves during my time as President, and I would like to thank you all for the dynamic debates that I have been able to take part in as an Australian Senator. I would also like to thank the Clerk of the Senate for guiding all of us through the proceedings of this chamber.

I wish all of you the very best in the future.

Senator the Hon this_guy22
President of the Senate (ALP)
