John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

I join the other Senators in paying tribute to Liam Fitzgibbon, the Editor of Debates, and thank him for the enormous amount of work he has done for the Houses over 30 years. It is not readily appreciated how onerous a task it is for the editor and his staff to make sense of what we say. The point has been made about corrections to the record. Sometimes what we have to say is almost impenetrable. It is not surprising that the record may sometimes need some amendment. We have had an example, just recently, as to whether a word should be 'censored' or 'censured'.
