You will see, Deputy Speaker, that there is only one 'Wally' in this photo. On 26 October this year, over 20 people travelled from Wollongong to Sydney to talk to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Christopher Pyne, about the state of crisis in the Australian steel industry. Many were very curious about why we were making the trip from Wollongong to Sydney, but we played along with it because the issue was too important to quibble over. We now know why the meeting was held in Sydney—because he has not got a clue where the Illawarra is! I brought along a map today to help the minister find out where the Illawarra is.
