by leave—I rise to speak in continuation on this Omnibus Repeal Day (Autumn 2015) Bill 2015, the Amending Acts 1980 to 1989 Repeal Bill 2015 and Statute Law Revision Bill (No. 2) 2015.

I would like to comment, with indulgence, on the member for Gippsland kindly referring to the Melbourne Marathon—which will take place this Sunday—and the fact that both of us will be participating in it. I enjoy my morning runs with the member for Gippsland and I think it will be a very even contest between the two of us. He has a different training regimen from me. One might say mine is the approach of a disciplined farmer's son and his is more eclectic. We do it in our own way but I am sure we will have a very pleasing battle and will be smiling at the finish line—hopefully not being carted off on a stretcher. I thank you for that indulgence, Mr Deputy Speaker.
