My apologies, Madam Deputy Speaker. I was just not sure which seat—I think it is Deakin—he is the member for. It is pleasing to see the ETU back in the news today. We have seen Kevin Harkins, one of the former members of this place. Harry Quick campaigned so heavily against him last time because of his behaviour. He was found guilty, of course, by the Federal Magistrates Court. But that is not bad enough for the Labor Party to oppose him running for the Senate. The ETU is made up of people like Dean Mighell, the member for Deakin and Kevin Harkins, the industrial dinosaurs which make up this place. We are going to see another one enter at the next election.
