During the last sitting I got all fired up at the prospect of speaking on the member for Hindmarsh's motion that was going to be put to the House, that the South Australian government should be condemned for their cuts to pensioner concessions. I was all ready to debate the issue with the member for Hindmarsh, and I got here today—

An honourable member: Where is he?

Well, it has been pulled. The whole motion has been pulled.

An honourable member: Why?

I will tell you why the motion has been pulled. It is because the South Australian government, in between those two sitting weeks, has come out with a policy of giving concessions to pensioners.
