Thank you, Mr Speaker. In speaking to the apprentices, the business owners and those who are working to get Queensland working again it made me reflect again: how good is Queensland? How good is Queensland? The Leader of the Opposition wouldn't know, because the Queensland government won't let him come to Queensland. The Leader of the Opposition couldn't spend 14 days in the ACT to spend a day in Queensland. I welcomed the welcome from the Queensland Premier to come to Queensland. Bu there's one person who's not welcome in Queensland: the Leader of the Opposition, and he's not that welcome in Newcastle either according to the member for Hunter. There was a time you had to get on a bullock train to get from Maitland to Newcastle, that would've been an excuse, but you can get there in about half an hour now— (Time expired)
