The longest serving staff member of the Legislative Assembly is Roger Malot from Hansard, who has been here for 23 years, while the longest serving MLA was Wayne Berry, for 19 years, five months and 10 days. No Assembly has finished with the same members who were elected at the beginning, although I must say our Liberal Party was quite happy to finish with all of our members in the last election in 2012, with no losses from our membership.
The first MLA was Rosemary Follett and the last MLA sworn in, in this current Eighth Assembly, is our colleague Ms Lawder, who is the 65th member. There have been six Speakers—David Prowse, Roberta McRae, Greg Cornwell, Wayne Berry, Shane Rattenbury and Vicki Dunne, and two Clerks—Mark McRae, who served for 13 years, six months and 29 days, and Tom Duncan, who will be celebrating his 10th year on 25 September 2013. So happy 1,000th birthday to the ACT Legislative Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 9.30 pm until Tuesday, 17 September, 2013 at 10 am.
