Romaldi, Mr M.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:58): A supplementary to that question—

The PRESIDENT: It will be very difficult to get a supplementary out of that response, but I will listen to it.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Will you?

The PRESIDENT: Yes, I will listen to it. I am just giving you fair warning, as the benign President I am. Go for it.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: My question is to the Hon. Jing Lee. Following the departure of Mr Romaldi, who was a representative of the state's large Italian community, will she or the government appoint a replacement from that community, which has more than 130,000 people of Italian heritage?

The PRESIDENT: Please be seated. It is a magnificent question but it is not a supplementary. I notice that I am giving the call to your fellow bencher. Hon. Ms Bonaros, I am giving you the call; you can adopt the question or ask your own.
