Mr NUGENT —I am delighted to bring to the attention of the House the fact that the best team won on Saturday. I would like to acknowledge the wonderful achievement of the North Melbourne Kangaroos in winning the grand final on Saturday, which I had the pleasure to attend. We were undoubtedly the best team. Carlton were not even in the game. We have demonstrated that the Kangaroos have been the best team in the AFL throughout the 1990s.

I am delighted to see that the Prime Minister has joined us, because I also have to remind the Prime Minister—with the greatest respect of course—that the Melbourne Storm won the rugby league grand final on Sunday. It was, I am sure, a great game. The Melbourne Storm are an outstanding team. In only their second year in the rugby league competition they have won the grand final. It just shows that Melbourne is the supreme city in this country for sport.


Mr SPEAKER —Order! It being 2 p.m., in accordance with standing order 106A, the time for members' statements has concluded.
