Senator WRIEDT (Tasmania) (Leader of the Opposition) - I will respond briefly to the remarks of the Leader of the Government (Senator Carrick). On behalf of the Opposition I also thank all the staff of Parliament House who on so many occasions have worked very long hours to service the work that we do. Let us hope that what we are doing is of some value to the Australian community. I suppose we ought to introduce something new. Just for a change we should ask the Clerk to make a speech. We would see whether it is only members of parliament who are able to say something. I think it is fitting that reference should be made to Mr Bullock 's work for us since he took over the position of Clerk. I think reference should also be made to the security people who work around Parliament House. We recognise the work that they do. I think this is possibly the first time that they have been given a mention at the end of the year. In closing, I wish all honourable senators the very best for the Christmas season. The only variation I make is that I particularly wish a successful year in 1980 for the Australian Labor Party and a most unsuccessful one for the Liberal Party.
