I will leave that between you, Mr Deputy Speaker, and the honourable member! Having said that, I just think it is a bit unfortunate that political correctness forces us to butcher the language and we are introducing so-called gender neutral language into the act when the existing language, by historical definition, was gender neutral anyway. I think that is regrettable. But I suspect that is not a battle I am going to win.
