I seek indulgence very briefly, Mr Speaker.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
You've got no sense of timing, do you, Rob? That's your problem. Sorry, Mr Speaker. Members might like to know that our oldest former colleague, Henry George Pearce, who was first elected in 1949, is celebrating his 100th birthday tomorrow. We wish Henry George Pearce a happy 100th birthday.
Honourable members: Hear, hear!
It's a message to all of us that, with a bit of clean living, like the member for Grayndler and I, you can live a long time, despite being a member of this place.
