I think I have answered that question. As I understand it, there may well be some action on Mr McDonald this afternoon. The Leader of the Opposition can let me know when he is going to do something about his deputy. The best that the Leader of the Opposition can do is laugh about it, because he does not have the strength to act. The Leader of the Opposition can let me know when he is going to do something about the state Liberal Party accepting donations from tobacco companies, whose products are killing millions of people all over the world. It is not a question of someone going onto building sites, using bad language, calling people fat and so on; it is a question of tobacco companies’ products killing millions of people all over the world - possibly the biggest single causal factor that impinges on our health system today. Leader of the Opposition, do something!
