Order! Before giving the call to the member for Fadden, under great pressure from a number of quarters within the chamber—and I cannot believe that I am about to do this as a Fitzroy and Brisbane Lions supporter—I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon Ronald Dale Barassi, a great Australian Rules footballer and a fine and respected Australian citizen. On behalf of the House, I extend to him a very warm welcome. He will not remember this, but many moons ago he lived for a short while in Regent, the suburb that I grew up in. Welcome.

Honourable Members:

Honourable members—Hear, hear!
