Before giving the call to the member for Cunningham and without being a killjoy, I wish to note that the gesture the member Denison, the member for O’Connor and the member for Lyne are making is in support of National Bandanna Day tomorrow. I note that the member for Chisholm seems to have got away, as she is able to, because of something that is not quite equal in the chamber and I probably could not say that her dress is out of order. I note that the member for Dunkley has been rather innovative and flamboyant in the way that he is wearing his bandanna as a kerchief in his suit pocket. I note that other people are resplendent in red ties and special scarves. I also note that others have ribbons. The scarves are for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation and the ribbons are for Brain Tumour Day. Having made their support and solidarity for the National Bandanna Day known, I ask the three members to remove their bandanas to better conform to the standards of dress.
