I've got a little tip for the member for Robertson. Before he comes in here and starts disparaging the member for Canning, he should have a look at the member for Canning's biography. Have a look at what the member for Canning has achieved in his political career and, before that, his military career, and don't you ever, ever, member for Robertson, come in here and denounce the member for Canning. He has been one of the finest Australians, as far as his military career is concerned, and don't ever spend two minutes—the first two minutes of your five-minute contribution—denouncing the member for Canning, because that is just not the right thing to do. He is a fine veteran and he is somebody who I think will make a great shadow minister for home affairs.
