Madam Speaker, you are one person I would not take on. The member for Grayndler, on the other hand, is easy meat. Madam Speaker, the government's proposal for the rest of the day is that we will now, with your indulgence, do valedictories as it is the end of the year. There is one bill after that, the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill 2013, which the government intends to proceed with this evening. The longer the valedictories go on, of course, the longer that bill will take. That is an outline for House. I assume that we will be able to rise by about seven o'clock—and, I hope, no later than that.

Question agreed to.
