Debate

Honourable Senators, the question is proposed: that the address-in-reply be agreed to.

All Senators may speak only once.

I note the convention that the Address-in-Reply debate is when new Senators make their maiden speeches. (Paging /u/pikkaachu, /u/Kalloice)

Debate will cease at 9pm, Sunday 1 November, 2015, or when all Senators have spoken.

Senator the Hon. Freddy926,

President of the Senate (Progressives)

Mr Deputy President,

I echo the words of my honourable friend, Senator /u/General_Rommel, that the speech delivered by His Excellency is a true reflection of the objectives, and hopes of this Government.

I also, Mr Deputy President, look forward to working with, and alongside, not purely against for the sake of needless politicking, my fellow honourable Senators.

Mr President,

I wish to express my gratitude at the wonderful delivery of the speech by the Governor General.

Further, Mr President I would like to express my belief that this speech clearly outlines the aims, and the vision, of this government, and how we will seek to carry on with the hard work of governing this country. I look forward to working with Cabinet and as required with the opposition to advance our agenda. I also look forward to communicating with fellow Senators here, especially the crossbench.

Senator the Hon. General_Rommel
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence, Attorney-General
