I have so much more to say about this. I will just reiterate a few points about how important the history of broadcasting is to the great state of Victoria. I do not know whether I told you at the very beginning that radio actually started in Victoria at Queenscliff with the Marconi company and that the first television broadcast in Australia was also in Melbourne in the 1920s and that it was, in fact, Robert Menzies, another great Victorian, who introduced television broadcasting to Australia in 1956 in response to the Melbourne Summer Olympics, also held in Melbourne.
