I associate myself with the remarks of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. A 36-year association between two generations of Jenkinses in the parliamentary sense, both state and federal, is something that I wish to note. With some of the remarks, perhaps, Jenkins senior may have been, as a rival, on the wrong side of arguments, in those early days in Victoria, but Clyde was somebody that we learnt to respect, and I have always said that if I had been picking a team to debate with, Clyde Holding would have been amongst the first that I would have picked to prosecute the case with me. I pass on my condolences to his family and friends. As a mark of respect I ask all present to signify their approval by rising in their places.

Honourable members having stood in their places—

I thank the House.

Debate adjourned.
