I have to tell you, if any of you lot—through you, Mr Acting Deputy President—had one ounce of dignity in your veins when it comes to training or employees, you could stand up and take bragging rights, but unfortunately you do not. Not one of you. So the best thing you can do is sit back and acknowledge what has been done by that fine member for Hasluck, who was so warmly welcomed back to the parliament. Thank goodness we got Sharryn Jackson back as the member for Hasluck, because what a wonderful job she has done in the short time since her re-election on behalf of her constituents in the electorate of Hasluck. Well done, Ms Jackson—congratulations. If there had been a few more hardworking, diligent members like the member for Hasluck when that lot were in government we would not have had to witness the greatest debacle in skills training, through all those boom years in Western Australia.
