It was an interjection; that's true. Indeed, as it turns out, I'm happy to confirm that it was a helpful interjection. The member for Moreton was right. Can I just say, I made the statement I did because the member for Moreton and I get on pretty well, despite political differences. We have a lot of banter here when he's doing his job as a teller. I'm glad he's asked me the question, because I wouldn't want people to think that the member for Moreton is not honest. I've always found him to be honest.
