Members interjecting:

The Hon. M.D. RANN: We know that she was a barrister-at-law; is that right?

The Hon. P.F. Conlon: A mere solicitor.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Okay. Both the Leader of the Opposition and I have these legal qualifications: I have been a Justice of the Peace for more than a quarter of a century, and I know that the Leader of the Opposition was a brilliant conveyancing solicitor.
