Before giving the call to the member for Kingston, I  indicate to the House that I have been prevailed upon by a number of members of this place who apparently are still basking in the glory of events on the last Saturday in September at the MCG to mention that there are visitors from the Geelong region in the gallery. The depth of the welcome that members give I will leave to them, but it gives me the opportunity, as somebody who does not get to speak in this place, to indicate that Frank Costa, President of the Geelong Football Club, is in the gallery. He is a major employer in the region represented by me and by the member for McEwan. It also gives me the opportunity to send my best wishes to my mother-in-law, who had bypass surgery in Geelong last Wednesday.
