I would like to thank everyone for their contribution to this place this year. It is a pleasure to work with you all. I certainly enjoy it, some days more than others, as I think we all do.

Can I thank my staff. They make my office one of the most enjoyable workplaces that I have ever been involved in. Their healthy level of disrespect for their minister is very pleasing to see.

In closing, I certainly will be taking the advice of many speakers to take some time off and enjoy a break. He is going to hate me for saying this, but there is a certain ruggedly handsome young man to whom I owe a honeymoon, and we certainly will be enjoying that experience over January.

To everyone, I hope you have a safe and happy festive season and we look forward to seeing you all back in this place in 2010, passionate about what you believe in. Safe and happy Christmas everyone.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 7 pm until Tuesday, 9 February 2010, at 10 am.
