It is always a pleasure to follow my friend, the member for Canning. I know that if those opposite are citing the Australian newspaper on any legislation that we are putting up then we are on a winner. I am very pleased indeed to speak on what is a hoary ideological chestnut for many opposite in this House. A number of them have memories that flow way back to the 1970s and 1980s—particularly the member for Higgins and the younger acolyte, the member for Indi. It is surely a hoary ideological chestnut for them.
