remain nameless came to me and asked for an assurance that the ACT Sergeant-at-Arms did not pack heat. I can assure members that he did not then, and I hope he does not now.

MR RATTENBURY (Kurrajong) (3.33), by leave: On behalf of the ACT Greens, and also as a former Speaker of this place, I would like to thank Max Kiermaier for his excellent service to the Assembly over, as you have noted, a sustained period of time and of course for his service to parliaments in Australia, given his role in the federal parliament as well.

I did serve with Max in the Seventh Assembly, as the Speaker, including the period in which the Clerk took extended leave and Max became the Acting Clerk. I have always found him to be incredibly professional, but also quite good fun. That is a great combination: being able to both get the job done very well and have a laugh and observe the wry ironies of this place.

I will miss Max. I thank you very much for your support and your service to this place, and I wish you all the best in your retirement.

MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you. Well done, Max.
