Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (21:46): This is the best time of the year: it's Christmas time, and I love it! It brings back many, many memories. I know that we won't get much more opportunity up here this week, so I just want to wish all those Tasmanians out there a really happy festive season. Please stay safe and I hope that you have a really great new year. I know that it has been a tough few years through COVID and I know that you're all trying to find your way to get back on your feet this year. I imagine that you're all really looking forward to this Christmas. I just want to tell a short story for all the females out there. If you're planning on doing a barbecue lunch or using your barbecue on Christmas Day, or if you're buying one for your husband or partner, and you think that you can put all the nuts and screws together, then I suggest you might want to get that ready about a week earlier. I can assure you—take it from somebody who knows from experience—that if you have a couple of drinks and you're still setting it up at 1 o'clock and don't yet have it together then it's probably going to end up on a table with the gas bottle hanging in the air! It's not a good idea! I also have a little tip for you men about the trampolines out there—a very difficult one! It's the springs. I watched my partner, the night before, say, 'No worries, darling, I'll get it done,' and then we were out there at 1 o'clock in the freaking morning, trying to put this bloody trampoline together! So when you buy things with nuts and bolts, please don't leave them until Christmas Eve because it doesn't always turn out as well as what you would hope. Senator Scarr: Did you mix up the trampoline with the barbecue? Senator LAMBIE: Yes, don't worry about the trampoline! You can have a bit of fun with your hubby the night before—put some bubbles and water on it, be my guest! No problem there. But, seriously, I really do wish all the Tasmanians down there a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. I certainly wouldn't feel right, and neither would Tasmanians, if I didn't wish the rest of you mainlanders a happy new year and a merry Christmas too. I'll just remind you that I know we're at the bottom, but we're at the bottom for a reason. It's because we have to do all the heavy lifting! Merry Christmas to you all out there in Australia. Have a good one, have a safe one and have a fabulous new year. I can tell you that after coming out of COVID over a couple years and getting on our feet, surely next year just has to get bigger and better. Merry Christmas. The ACTING DEP UTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Dean Smith ): And Merry Christmas to you, Senator Lambie.
