I’ll be working hard, such a steady wage

I will sing at Smith’s, a special stage

Though Canberra’s new to me, it’s so well understood

Something tells me I’m into something good.

Finally, this is Ken Behrens, also written by Kay Grzadka:

“We’re all Ken Behrens”, said the Chief, “and put now to the test.”

“To help each other fight the virus we must do our best.”

Well educated, vaccinated, more than all the rest

Ken Behrens passed the test.

Give a cheer for our Ken Behrens

For the lovin’ and the carin’

(For) Getting vaxed and for mask wearin’

Ken Behrens you’re the best!!

Ken Behrens like our Nigel had a real hard row to hoe

Doors were closed and rules imposed and business hit a low

Now we’ve opened up again we hope your business grows

We wish you all the best.

Give a cheer for our Ken Behrens

For the lovin’ and the carin’

(For) Getting vaxed and for mask wearin’

Ken Behrens you’re the best!!

I thought those were very fitting to mark a very special celebration of 109 years of Canberra, and I thank the chamber for indulging me.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 4.26 pm.
