Thursday 10 April 2025 [7.00 p.m.] Ms ARMITAGE (Launceston) - Mr President, first, I also wish the members for Nelson and Pembroke all the best. I should not say it, but there is Ben in the background who always tells me how terrible I looked at my election. I did reprimand him last time because he has told me so many times. I know how it feels and just how stressful it is. Ms Rattray - I think they look alright. Ms ARMITAGE - You will have to share that sort of inform
