Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. My apologies to the House and my thanks to you for your wise counsel in this regard. It's also a little bit embarrassing when a quorum is called immediately after you've given a speech, because it indicates there weren't many people in the House listening to your speech! I want to assure the member for Moreton there was certainly no offence to you, who spoke after me as I left the House in a rush. And, therefore, I make that apology.
