MR STANHOPE (continuing):

Having said that, let me say that, ultimately, all members enter this place with a common desire to serve the people of Canberra. Mr Speaker, I remain confident that in seeking to achieve this shared goal we can work together cooperatively, constructively and with mutual respect.

MR SPEAKER: Standing order 4 requires that the Assembly proceed, at its first sitting after an election, to elect a Deputy Speaker.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition): Mr Speaker, I propose Bill Wood and I move:

That Mr Wood be elected Deputy Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Does the member accept the nomination?

MR WOOD: Yes.

MR SPEAKER: Are there any other proposals?

The time for proposals has expired. There being no further proposals, I declare Mr Wood, the member proposed, to have been elected as Deputy Speaker. Congratulations.
