The SPEAKER (2:43 PM) —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.

Honourable members—Hear, hear!
