There are! It will be a little surprise to the Senate today that they are ably led by 'the Godfather' himself! That's one of the wines, I understand, Senator Farrell, on the wine list—a cabernet. It's $110 a bottle, colleagues, but we don't hold that against you, Senator Farrell!

Can I just say, though, colleagues, what former Senator Doug Cameron, who cannot get over the fact that he was unceremoniously retired from this place, said. Senator Farrell, you have even gone up more in my esteem, as have the other members in the Senate of the Otis group, because this is what your good friend—I would say that, but he's clearly not—and former colleague has said about you: 'Given the names associated with this group, I'm not surprised. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.' That was said by former senator Doug Cameron. He cannot help himself!

Senator Farrell, what we say to you and what we say to Senator Sterle, Senator Kitching, Senator Chisholm, Senator Polley and Senator Ciccone is: welcome to the world of jobs!
