Hansard transcript of maiden speech by Queensland ALP Senator Murray Watt.
The PRESIDENT (17:26): I am sure there is no need to remind senators to listen to the next first speech in silence.
Senator WATT (Queensland) (17:26): I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today, the Ngunawal and Ngambri people, their elders past, present and emerging. I also acknowledge the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional owners of the lands of my home state, Queensland.
