In rising to give my strong support for the Competition and Consumer Legislation Amendment Bill 2010 I commend you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for your contribution to the debate, and I also commend the member for Werriwa.

I love going to the Gabba in Brisbane to watch the Brisbane Lions or the Queensland Bulls, or even going to Lang Park to support the Broncos. I have even been to see some Brisbane Strikers’ games in recent years. Unfortunately, as a politician I do not have a lot of time to do that nowadays. But anybody who has been to the Gabba or to Lang Park and bought a pie knows something about the concept of a monopoly. A simple pie and a drink will set you back quite a hefty sum; you almost have to take out a mortgage.
