The member for Kalgoorlie! The Minister for Trade will resume his seat. It would be better for the House if you chose voluntarily to go because I do not think that somebody trying me on just for one hour shows a concern about the level of the punishment. I warn the member for Kalgoorlie. Regrettably, that then means that he has to transgress before any action can be taken. I think the problem is that people see the use of the one hour as not being something that they should see as a badge of dishonour but as a badge of honour. I regret that that is the way it has developed.
