MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:08):</by>  I think that standing order 455A refers to he or she, And do you know what, sir? When the Liberals were caught out either being ignorant or incompetent, and not knowing, they said, 'It says he or she in 455A'. No-one believes that. They thought these changes weren't made. They didn't know the Hon. Rob Lucas had made these changes. They had no clue, no idea and they are not relevant.</text>
