A document is tabled in accordance with the list circulated to honourable members earlier today. Full details of the document will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings. On indulgence, Mr Speaker: I acknowledge that in the gallery we have a number of prominent National Rugby League figures, including Cameron Smith, who has captained the Kangaroos. Welcome to the parliament, boys.
