I thank the honourable member for his question. This is the deliverer of rolled-gold guarantees. He is a guaranteed deliverer of Olympic proportions. He gave a rolled-gold guarantee that all of his members, including the ones that have just resigned, were eligible to sit in the House. And he did so after the High Court had made it abundantly clear last year that they were not eligible. Oh, yes, he did. He kept on saying they were fine—and of course he was backed up by that booming advocate, the member for Isaacs—a reminder of the late Neville Wran when he said, 'Anyone can go to jail if they get the right lawyer.'
