Alex Hawke (Mitchell, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I rise to support many of the provisions contained in the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Bill 2011. However, the member for Moreton presented me with an interesting opportunity to make comment on some of the intentions of the Gillard government and their methodology in conduct their legislative program in this House, and I am happy to take up that opportunity. I start by making a deeply personal confession to this House: my rugby league team is not doing very well at the moment. It is a source of great personal concern to me and it is something I struggle to cope with every day lately. I note the member for Moreton also supports a very lousy NRL team for different reasons.
