Senator Higgins's case is most important for both Houses and he should be supported.

I hope we are provided with another chance to pay tribute to the public service record of the Information Commissioner, Kevin Murphy. While I am not sure how the motion for the appointment of a new Ombudsman will be handled, I feel that Ms O'Reilly has the capacity to make an excellent Ombudsman. The choice of appointee is interesting and exciting.
