Mr speaker, on indulgence: after meeting with the Prime Minister with regard to the desalination plant at Wonthaggi, I rise to thank the Prime Minister for his personal intervention to allow the government to come to an out-of-court agreement to settle the legal costs of the Your Water Your Say Action Group opposed to the desalination plant. I thank the Prime Minister on behalf of Your Water Your Say.

I am not sure how that fitted into the proceedings, but he got it.

Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I need your assistance under standing order 24, which deals with members’ seats. I ask: has the member for Charlton gained weight and the member for Fraser changed his sex?

Order! There is no point of order. If the honourable members were rising in their places to get the call, they would have to take the seats they have been allocated.
