I cannot say to our political opponents that I wish you well in the new year. I have to say that, politically, I wish ill upon you. I hope that we cream you, and I think we will. It has been, nevertheless, an experience to work with you all, and something that none of us will forget if some of us fall by the wayside as a result of the next election. I want to come back to this team of Labor people that you have had managing this Government. The time, I am sure, has not expired, Madam Speaker.
Mr Stevenson: I move for an extension.
MADAM SPEAKER: No. The Speaker cannot see the clock. It is all right, Mr Stevenson.
MR BERRY: Madam Speaker has had to walk the razor's edge quite often and I think she has done a great job. Thank you, Madam Speaker. As far as the team in the parliament is concerned, I think we have presented as a pretty solid group, a hardworking group, as all people here are; but we worked down a different path from the rest of you. I would like to congratulate my colleagues for the contribution that they have made to Labor's ideals and for how they have been delivered in this Assembly. I would also like to wish the Labor staffers all the best. They have been a particularly hardworking group, as all staffers are. There is no question about that. Staffers for all the political groups within the Assembly work very hard, and they deserve thanks from all of us in one way or another. I would particularly like to thank our people because they are better. I hope that in the new year you all have a peaceful year. I hope that some of you are disappointed and that we get a lot of pleasure out of the next election. We will see you next time.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 5.44 pm until a day and hour to be fixed
