I broke my hand playing against West Perth once! I do not hold it against that club. I have still got bumps and scars — Mr M.P. Whitely : They shouldn’t really have tried to kick you there! Mr C.J. BARNETT : You’re just so funny, aren’t you? Member for Joondalup—I mean, I think he should grasp it—every situation is different; every project is different. Obviously the member is not going to do the right thing. I will take it upon myself to write to the president and chairman of West Perth Football Club and offer to meet with him and hear his proposals for the club.
