Felicitations
Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (10:54): I will also be reflective. For me this term of office has been a term of firsts. Mr Quilty and I were the first people elected to the Victorian Parliament on a libertarian platform, the platform of the Liberal Democrats. I was the first to organise a pro-nuclear rally in Australia. I was also probably the first to arrange a meeting between bank officials and sex workers. I was the first member to be kettled and arrested by police, and I am probably the first member to be arrested and then interrogate the Chief Commissioner of Police about it in the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee. Along with Tim and Dr Cumming, I was the first to be expelled from Parliament for medical privacy reasons and then to participate in parliamentary debate from a nightclub. I was also the first to argue for drug decriminalisation in front of a room full of conservatives at the Conservative Political Action Conference—far scarier than anything I have ever done here. I was also the only politician to witness Black Lives Matter and anti-lockdown protests. I was also the only politician to witness tradies protest and the fake news that followed. I think I was also the first to mention the great band TISM in Hansard. I was also the first member of this Parliament to call for the release of Julian Assange, and I am very proud to say that the Liberal Democrats was the only political party to consistently stand up for human rights throughout the pandemic. If enough people support the Liberal Democrats in November, then I will see you all again next year.
