Firstly, I indicate that I am a very proud member of the Transport Workers Union of Australia and have been a member of the CPSU, the New South Wales Teachers Federation and whichever union covered my workplace at any point in time. Secondly, the Treasurer indicated that I was the member for Hunter. I am the member for Cunningham, and, if he had answered my question from two years ago asking whether he had ever visited my electorate, he might well know that.
