This may have been cross posted, wouldn’t want anyone to miss out. Aden Ridgeway has been our leading light in parliament. We will miss him and his support and hope his team will keep up the same support he has given us.

Many people have been contacting our office wanting to know when Aden will be giving his final speech in the Senate. The best we can get at this stage is sometime between 9.30am and 2pm on Wednesday 22 June. The reason for the vagueness is that there are 15 Senators retiring on 30 June, so there are not only 15 individual speeches to get through, but there will also be many other Senators who will want to pay tribute to some, or all, of the 15. The valedictories will start Tuesday night from 6-11pm and continue Wednesday from 9.30-2. ABC News Radio is scheduled to broadcast the Senate on the Wednesday till 2pm. News Radio frequencies are as follows Canberra 1440 AM Brisbane 936 AM Sydney 630 AM Newcastle 1458 AM Melbourne 1026 AM Hobart 747 AM Adelaide 972 AM Perth 585 AM Darwin 102.5 FM Gold Coast 95.7 FM Gosford 98.1 FM Northern Tasmania 92.5 FM Of course you Canberra-based mob can be there in the Senate public gallery. I'll let you know when we are able to get an idea of more definite times but that may not be till the Wed morn. In the meantime if you can pass this info through your networks that would be helpful…thanks Liz
