          <by role="office">The SPEAKER:</by>  Before I call the member for Chaffey, I would like to welcome to parliament Mike O'Reilly, who was a senior journalist in 1984 at the <term>Adelaide News</term> when I joined as a copyboy. I then became a journalist in 1985, and Mike soon after left to work for the South Australian Brewing Company. He knew I did not mind a little cold frothy, so he would send media releases my way, sticky taped to a slab. Mike's greatest moment I think was when Pope John Paul II came to Australia on a papal visit. When he was here in Adelaide, Mike came up with an idea of producing the 'Vaticans'. They were cans of West End Export with the papal logo on the other side. I reckon I might still have a couple of empty cans at home, Mike.</text>
        <text id="202511253ea1de9763e54ca4a0000987">I think after that you went to work for Dean Brown here in parliament, in the Liberal Party. It is great to have you back in the house today. I was sitting here and thinking, 'I'm sure that is either Mike or John Cleese,' and I had to get Janine Young, who worked with us at <term>The</term> <term>News</term> back in 1984 as well, to go and do a positive ID on you. Great to see you, Mike.</text>
        <text id="202511253ea1de9763e54ca4a0000988">Also, we have John and Margaret George here, who are guests of the member for Chaffey, whom I now give the call to.</text>
