Mr Speaker, on indulgence, if I may suggest to the Prime Minister and to the Leader of the House, the member for Wentworth asked his question not in a partisan spirit but in a genuine attempt to try to ensure that something happens to reduce the incidence of suicide at The Gap. Could I suggest to both the minister and the Prime Minister that all members of this House would congratulate them and thank them if a phone call was to be made to Woollahra council this afternoon to fix this matter up. A hundred thousand dollars, or thereabouts, is a small price to pay to prevent suicides at The Gap.
