Mr Speaker, I am happy to come to a conclusion. The Leader of the Opposition should come to a conclusion. Does he support his own deputy leader on this point or does he support his recently appointed shadow minister for federal-state relations? He cannot keep sitting on the fence on this. He cannot keep trying to be all things to everyone. I say that he should put his Dr Death skills into practice and kill off, finally and for all time, this very silly idea of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition.
