          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:29):</by>  The answer to the question is yes, but I have had no discussions. I can assure you it is the last thing in the world I would be seeking. I shouldn't say the last, but it is one of the positions which would be the least likely that I would be seeking. I did notice on the West Adelaide Football Club chat site that they said there was a vacancy a month ago for the chief executive of the West Adelaide Football Club and that maybe the former Treasurer might be of interest in that. I must admit that the response to that wasn't overly warm from the West Adelaide supporters. I suspect there will be very few people wanting a discarded ex-Treasurer, but if in the future there is somebody post retirement, I will be very happy to talk to them.</text>
