%X The HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) is a blind search for extragalactic neutral hydrogen, covering the whole of the southern sky. We present the latest HI mass function (HIMF) constructed from a sample of 263 galaxies with declinations < -62°. Standard Sigma 1/V_max and maximum likelihood techniques are used in the analysis. No upturn in the low-mass end of the HIMF is yet seen, though our selection procedure presently conspires against the lowest-mass galaxies.
