I actually rise to speak on the MPI, which was about a budget emergency. I got waylaid and got to hear the member for Moncrieff for 10 minutes talk about the usual three speeches he makes; however, it was a bit unfortunate, because obviously there is going to be a ministerial vacancy coming up, and I always go for the Queenslander when it comes to any vacancies! With respect to the member for Kooyong, I always want to plump for the Queenslander, but after that speech getting on his CV I just cannot believe the member for Moncrieff let me down like that. But, nevertheless, best of luck; if that is the start of your job application, you've got a lot of work to do. Opportunity rich, I think we say, Steven!
