That reminds me of another
interesting point about rugby union. I will take this opportunity to speak
about these things. I turn to the question that the member asked. Obviously, we
will continue to be guided on these matters. The match will not be held for
another three months. Obviously, all these fans will be looking forward to
taking advantage of the reconnected direct flights between London and Perth,
and obviously between Perth and London. We
are very much looking forward to welcoming all those fans to Western Australia,
but most of all, of course, we are
very much looking forward to welcoming the English rugby union side so we can
give them a jolly good beating!
The SPEAKER : Members, that
concludes question time.
