The member for McMillan will resume his seat. Over several question times since the start of this parliament I have advised the House that whilst the use of props is not encouraged it has been tolerated. I will be very charitable, and I hope that the member for McMillan does not take this the wrong way: over the different occasions that he has been here he would have witnessed several ministers, even before the Minister for Trade, use props, going right back to the old place, before television.
