Mr Jensen has arrived at this Assembly as a representative of community based groups in the Tuggeranong Valley. He has a wide experience in chairmanship, not only in his Army career but in educational and community organisations, first in Queensland and for the last 10 years in the ACT, with a short time in Western Australia.
Not only his fellow members of the Residents Rally but also a wider community respect his strength of character, his solidity, his sense of caring discipline. As one commentator has described him, he is a man without enemies - and would that most of us could say that of ourselves. He is in all things fair-minded and just, and I have every confidence that he would be impartial and correct, with a good working knowledge of practice and procedures. I commend Mr Jensen to the Assembly.
MR SPEAKER: As all members are present, I do not intend to ring the bells. The ballot will now be taken.
(A ballot having been taken)
MR SPEAKER: The result of the ballot is: Mr Stefaniak, 10 votes; Mr Jensen, seven votes. Mr Stefaniak is declared elected.
