[Stahel, Peter (Sen B. Brown)]

"Brendan Nelson is to be congratulated for his distinguished service
over many years to Australian politics," Australian Greens Leader Bob
Brown said today.

"As a back-bencher, Minister, and Opposition Leader Mr Nelson has worked
tirelessly for the Australian people."

"I wish him every good fortune in his future endeavours."

"The Greens will be ensuring the people of Bradfield have a strong
candidate in the by-election. We will be campaigning strongly to give
the people of Bradfield a good alternative to the Coalition - whether or
not Labor fields a candidate," Senator Brown said.
