FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations) (15:07):</by>  Can I say that my ex-wife, the beautiful woman that she is, looked after all our accounts very well. She did not trust the Treasurer with the house accounts. Since I have been a single bloke, I now sign my bills without even looking at them. I get the final warning that I have not paid them, and I just write a cheque. I am a shocker!</text>
