I rise to speak on the Nation-building Funds Bill 2008, the Nation-building Funds (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2008 and the COAG Reform Fund Bill 2008, but just before the member for Sturt runs out of the chamber I would like to comment to him that listening to him is like being slapped in the face with boiled lettuce: sure it feels sloppy and annoying, but it does not quite knock you off your feet!
