Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Before we move to the next item of business, I congratulate, on my behalf and that of all Members of the House, our colleague and friend, Senator Paddy Burke, who 30 years ago this week was elected to this House for the first time. Like the father of the House, Senator Norris, Senator Burke has served uninterrupted since 1993.

It is seldom that we get the chance to catch out Senator Burke.
